A sharp, high-contrast serif with tapered strokes that flare into pointed, bracketed terminals. The letterforms show a pronounced vertical stress, crisp hairlines, and confident thick stems, creating a lively rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Curves are taut and slightly sculpted, with wedge-like serifs and angled joins that give many glyphs a chiseled, cut-stone feel. Lowercase proportions stay traditional with a moderate x-height and compact, well-contained counters, while the numerals match the dramatic contrast and angular finishing.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, book and article titling, and high-end brand applications where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also work for short text passages in print-oriented layouts when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a distinct editorial sophistication. Its sharp terminals and flared endings add a touch of drama and ceremony, reading as premium and traditional rather than casual or utilitarian.
The font appears intended to deliver classic serif authority with a more expressive, flared finishing, combining traditional proportions with sharper, contemporary crispness for impactful display and editorial typography.
The design relies on thin hairlines and fine apexes, so it benefits from generous sizes and clean reproduction. In text, the strong thick–thin modulation and pointed details create a striking texture, particularly in capitals and diagonals.
