This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the forms a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes transition sharply from thick verticals to hairline joins, with pointed terminals and gently tapered arms that keep counters open despite the heavy weight. Proportions lean traditional: rounded letters are compact and sturdy, while capitals like M and W are wide and stately. Lowercase shows a classic, bookish rhythm with a two-storey g and a distinctly curved, hooked descender on q; numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and prominent bowl-and-stem contrast.
Best suited for display settings such as magazine headlines, book-cover titles, posters, and pull quotes where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form editorial text at generous sizes and comfortable leading, especially in print-forward layouts.
The overall tone is authoritative and literary, with a dramatic, refined presence that reads as traditional rather than geometric. Its sharp hairlines and flared finish lend an elevated, slightly theatrical character suited to premium editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif authority by combining traditional proportions with flared, chiseled stroke endings and pronounced contrast for impact in titling and editorial applications.
At larger sizes the crisp hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, creating a lively texture and pronounced vertical emphasis. The strong weight and contrast make spacing and counters especially important, and the design’s sculpted details are most legible when given room to breathe.
