A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and crisp triangular shaping at joins and terminals. Stems often widen into flared, wedge-like endings, and several letters show sharp internal notches that create an ink-trap-like bite in the counterforms. Capitals feel sturdy and monumental with broad, steady verticals, while the curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and tightly controlled. Lowercase forms are compact and weighty; the two-storey g and the hooked f emphasize the calligraphic stress, and the small sizes of counters reinforce a dense, poster-ready texture. Numerals match the heavy, high-contrast construction, with distinctive wedges and strong silhouette differences across figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial typography, posters, and brand marks where its sharp, flared detailing can read clearly. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck copy when given generous size and leading to preserve its tight counters.
The overall tone is assertive and upscale, balancing classical bookish cues with a contemporary, cut-stone sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and chiseled details give it a fashion/editorial flavor, while the traditional proportions keep it grounded and formal.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, high-impact serif voice that feels both classical and modern, using flared terminals and angular cuts to add distinction and a premium, editorial presence.
The design relies on crisp angles and tight apertures, which heighten character in display sizes but can make interiors close up as sizes shrink. The wedge-like details are consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a unified, emphatic rhythm in text lines.
