A high-contrast serif with sturdy vertical stems and sharply thinned hairlines, creating a distinctly sculpted, flared feel at many stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and taper into points in places, while joins stay crisp and controlled, giving the letters a chiseled, editorial presence. Proportions are fairly compact with tight apertures in several forms and prominent, dark bowls that build a strong text color. The lowercase shows a traditional serif structure with a two-storey a and g, a defined ear on g, and ball-like terminals on letters such as f and j; numerals are similarly high-contrast with wedge-like finishing and clear figure shapes.
Well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where strong contrast and sculpted serifs add sophistication. It can also work for book covers, cultural branding, and premium packaging, especially when used with generous leading and careful tracking to preserve its sharp details.
The overall tone is authoritative and refined, with a dramatic black-and-white rhythm that reads as classic and serious. It suggests heritage publishing and formal communication, but with enough sharpness and contrast to feel attention-grabbing and headline-ready.
Likely intended to deliver a classic, print-forward voice with heightened contrast and distinctive flared terminals, balancing traditional serif proportions with a more dramatic, contemporary bite for display typography.
Spacing appears on the tighter side, which helps the design form a dense, punchy texture in setting. The pointed, tapering details and strong vertical stress make it especially striking at larger sizes, where the hairlines and flared endings can be appreciated.
