A high-contrast serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and sharp, triangular serifs. Stems and diagonals show a strong thick–thin modulation with calligraphic, slightly diagonal stress, while curves are smooth and weighty at their thick points. The letterforms are relatively compact with crisp apexes and pointed joins (notably in V/W/X), and the overall rhythm feels tight and energetic rather than airy. Numerals match the letters’ contrast and angular finishing, with clear, sturdy shapes suited to display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where its contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short blocks of editorial text at comfortable sizes, especially when a formal, high-impact voice is desired.
The tone is commanding and editorial, blending classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, showy edge from the flared terminals and sharp detailing. It reads as serious and premium, with enough drama to feel headline-ready.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and flared, sculpted endings to increase presence and elegance. Its proportions and sharp finishing suggest an emphasis on confident display performance while retaining familiar, readable letter structures.
Lowercase forms keep a traditional, text-serif skeleton but with emphatic finishing—ball/teardrop-like details and wedge-like terminals appear in places, giving the design a distinctive, slightly spiky texture. The ampersand is bold and ornate, reinforcing the font’s display-leaning personality.
