A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut terminals. Serifs are small to moderate and often wedge-like or flared, with bracketing that blends into stems rather than ending in blunt slabs. Counters are round and full, while joins and shoulders show subtle calligraphic tension, creating a lively rhythm across words. The overall build is sturdy and confident, with tight apertures and crisp internal corners that emphasize the high-contrast drawing.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short editorial passages where contrast and silhouette can carry the page. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and identity work that benefits from a refined serif voice with a bit of drama. For longer text, it will be most comfortable when set with generous size and spacing to let the fine strokes breathe.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, pairing a classic editorial sensibility with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp transitions and glossy contrast suggest refinement and prestige, while the slightly playful, sculptural details keep it from feeling purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and display-ready polish. Its sculpted terminals and flared serifs aim to project sophistication and impact in contemporary editorial and brand settings.
Uppercase forms read monumental and display-oriented, while the lowercase adds character through distinctive bowls and ear-like terminals, giving text a dynamic texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, carved look, with strong silhouettes that remain legible at headline sizes.
