A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply bracketed wedge serifs. The strokes show a pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp joins, giving counters a carved, print-like clarity. Proportions are moderately condensed in places with clear, decisive verticals and energetic diagonals; curves (notably in C, G, S, and O) are taut and controlled. Lowercase forms feel robust and editorial, with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and a slightly lively rhythm created by the flared stroke endings and tapered hairlines.
This design performs best at display sizes where its contrast, flared terminals, and sharp serifs can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, book covers, posters, and premium branding. It can also work for short blocks of text (pull quotes, intros, captions) when generous size and leading preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, balancing traditional bookish refinement with a slightly theatrical sharpness. It reads as confident and formal, suited to settings where gravitas and contrast are part of the voice.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif voice: strong contrast and crisp serifs for impact, paired with flared stroke endings that add a crafted, calligraphic finish. The goal seems to be high visual presence without losing typographic refinement.
Spacing in the sample text appears designed for strong word shape and punchy headlines, with dark color and crisp silhouette definition. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with prominent vertical stress and elegant tapering in curved figures like 3, 6, 8, and 9.
