A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, hairline-thin horizontals, and distinctly bracketed, flared terminals that widen into triangular wedge-like endings. The letterforms feel tightly drawn and sculptural, with crisp joins and pointed apexes on A, V, W, and Y. Curves are smooth but controlled, producing compact bowls and clear counters; the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey a, a robust g, and pronounced teardrop-like dots. Overall spacing reads firm and slightly condensed in texture, creating a dense, ink-rich color in text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other display-to-text crossover settings where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It should perform especially well in magazines, book covers, cultural branding, and poster typography that aims for a refined, high-impact voice.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a sharp, fashion-and-editorial edge. Its dramatic contrast and chiseled terminals give it a refined, slightly theatrical presence that feels suited to prestige contexts rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with a more flared, carved terminal treatment, yielding a confident display serif that still holds together in paragraphs. The emphasis is on strong vertical rhythm, crisp detailing, and a distinctive wedge-terminal signature for recognizable typographic voice.
Capitals present strong monument-like silhouettes, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm that holds together in longer lines. Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in feel through their serifed, calligraphic shaping and varied stroke emphasis, contributing to a traditional, print-forward character.
