This typeface has compact, weighty forms with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring terminals. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracket into the stems, giving the joins a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a purely mechanical finish. Curves are full and smoothly tensioned, while vertical strokes read firmly upright; counters are moderately tight, contributing to a dense, authoritative texture in text. Uppercase proportions feel classical and stable, and the lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls with a clear two-storey “a” and an “e” with a crisp horizontal bar.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the high-contrast strokes and flared details can be appreciated. It is also a strong option for magazine layouts, book covers, and brand marks that want a classic, premium voice; for longer text, it will read most comfortably with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence driven by the contrast and flared finishing. It feels refined and serious rather than playful, suited to messages that benefit from gravitas and heritage cues.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic serif formality, combining strong contrast with flared, sculptural terminals to create emphasis and personality. Its dense texture and crisp detailing suggest an emphasis on impactful display typography that still retains traditional typographic credibility.
The numerals match the letterforms with strong contrast and tapered terminals, producing a cohesive set for headlines and display lines. The rhythm in text is energetic due to the sharp serif activity and the compact, dark color, which helps it stand out in short passages and emphasized typographic moments.
