This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give stems a subtly calligraphic, chiseled feel. Curves are full and rounded, while joins tighten into sharp wedges, creating a rhythmic alternation of thick verticals and fine hairlines. The lowercase shows compact counters and strong modulation, with a double-storey “a,” a lively “g” with a prominent ear, and a “t” whose top feels more tapered than flat. Numerals match the assertive color, with thick main strokes and delicate inner turns that keep the set crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style typography, posters, and book or album covers where strong contrast and sculpted serifs can carry personality. It can also serve in branding and packaging for a classic, premium voice, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a sense of drama that reads as classic and authoritative rather than ornate. Its flared endings and sharp internal transitions add energy and a slightly theatrical edge, making text feel emphatic and deliberate.
The font appears designed to deliver a commanding, traditional serif voice with expressive flaring and crisp hairlines, balancing classic proportions with a more sculptural, display-forward finish. Its consistent modulation suggests an intention to provide strong presence in both short headlines and dense editorial lines.
The design maintains consistent contrast and terminal behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong, dark typographic color in paragraphs. Round letters (C, O, Q) show tight, polished curves, while diagonals (V, W, X) feel weighty and stable due to the bold main strokes and tapered finishing details.
