A sculpted serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems feel weighty and taper into bracketed, slightly flared terminals, while the hairlines stay crisp and taut. Bowls are compact and well-contained, counters are relatively small, and joins are smoothly modeled rather than purely geometric. The overall rhythm is steady but lively, with a slightly variable feel in letter widths and prominent, formal capitals.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can work for short blocks of editorial text at larger sizes, but its compact counters and strong stroke modulation favor impactful titling and prominent typographic moments.
The tone is polished and high-end, with a fashion-and-editorial kind of drama. Its sharp contrast and carved terminals suggest tradition and authority, while the flared, calligraphic cues add sophistication and personality. It reads as confident, ceremonial, and a bit theatrical rather than casual.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary take on a classical, high-contrast serif, balancing stately proportions with subtly flared, calligraphy-informed terminals. It’s built to deliver premium, attention-grabbing typography while maintaining a disciplined, traditional structure.
In text settings the dense color and tight counters create a strong presence, especially in all-caps and at display sizes. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and look designed to sit comfortably alongside uppercase forms, reinforcing a cohesive, classic headline voice.
