This typeface shows a high-contrast serif structure with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals. Serifs are wedge-like and often flared, creating sculpted terminals that feel cut rather than purely mechanical. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and corners stay crisp, producing a lively rhythm across capitals and lowercase. The overall color is dark and authoritative, with clear thick–thin modulation and compact internal counters that strengthen the silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand statements where high contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work well on packaging and cultural posters that benefit from a classic-but-bold voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is editorial and dramatic, mixing classic bookish cues with a more theatrical, headline-ready presence. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing strokes lend a refined, slightly opulent feel, while the bold massing keeps it assertive and attention grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened contrast and expressive, flared finishing strokes for impact. It prioritizes a confident display presence while retaining enough classical structure to feel credible in editorial settings.
Capitals read stately and carved, with distinctive flaring at stroke ends that adds motion without leaning into italics. The numerals are similarly high-contrast and stylized, designed to harmonize with the strong serif voice rather than disappear into text color.
