A high-contrast serif with sharp thick–thin modulation, crisp joins, and sculpted, wedge-like serifs that flare from the stems. The capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, with pointed apexes and firm vertical stress, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with clear, open counters and assertive terminals. Curves are smooth and taut, and the numerals follow the same elegant contrast with prominent verticals and tapered finishing strokes.
Well suited to headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work for pull quotes, section openers, and branding applications that benefit from a refined, traditional voice with extra visual punch.
The overall tone is editorial and classic, with a dramatic, high-end presence that reads as confident and formal. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add a touch of theatricality, making text feel more ceremonial and curated than neutral.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif proportions with more emphatic, flared finishing strokes and pronounced contrast, producing a formal, attention-grabbing texture for editorial and display settings.
At display sizes the stroke contrast and wedge terminals become especially prominent, creating strong word-shape and a rhythmic sparkle across lines. The ampersand and the Q’s tail show expressive detailing consistent with the font’s sharp, sculptural approach.
