A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are tapered and angular rather than blocky, giving the letterforms a carved, faceted look. Curves show tight bracketing and crisp joins, while counters are compact and slightly pinched in places, producing a dense, punchy texture. The overall rhythm mixes sturdy vertical stems with hairline connectors, and spacing feels display-leaning, with strong black shapes and clear interior cutouts.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, section openers, and brand marks where high contrast and crisp serifs can be shown at larger sizes. It can also work for pull quotes or short blocks of text in high-quality print layouts, where the dense texture and sharp details add sophistication.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a dramatic, fashion-forward sheen. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contrast read as confident and slightly theatrical, projecting prestige and formality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading structure with heightened contrast and sharper, more graphic terminals, bridging traditional text-serif familiarity with a contemporary display punch.
The uppercase forms are broad and commanding, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book-seriffed structure but with noticeably sharp finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and wedge-terminal logic, creating a cohesive, poster-ready set that holds up well at large sizes.
