This typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel subtly flared from the stems. Capitals are stately and open, with generous interior counters and carefully controlled curves, while the lowercase is compact and sturdy with clear, bookish proportions. Terminals tend toward pointed or slightly beaked shapes, and the overall rhythm is assertive and even, with strong vertical emphasis and neatly carved joins.
It performs best in display to mid-size text where its contrast and tapered serifs can read cleanly—such as magazine headlines, book or journal titling, pull quotes, and poster typography. In paragraph settings it creates a strong, traditional texture suited to editorial layouts that want a firm, authoritative typographic color.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence typical of serious print typography. It balances refinement with weighty authority, giving text a composed, traditional voice that still feels energetic because of the sharp contrast and tapered details.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, sculptural detailing, aiming for impact and elegance rather than neutrality. Its shapes prioritize a polished, print-oriented presence that supports prominent titles and formal messaging.
Figures are robust and high-impact, with clear differentiation and classic lining-style proportions. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same sculpted contrast and pointed terminals, helping dense settings retain a consistent, chiseled texture.
