This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sturdy vertical stems and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are wedge-like and slightly flared, with noticeable bracketing that smooths transitions into the main strokes. The curves show a calligraphic influence: bowls and terminals often end in pointed, directional cuts, and several lowercase forms (notably a, e, g, and y) carry lively, slightly swashed finishing strokes. Proportions feel traditionally bookish with moderate x-height, generous caps, and a compact, weighty texture that holds together well in bold settings.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where strong contrast and expressive serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding and premium packaging that benefits from a classic, assertive serif voice, and for posters or titles where dense, impactful texture is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and authoritative. Its sharp contrasts and spirited terminals add a touch of drama and personality, suggesting a refined but expressive voice rather than a purely neutral one.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif foundation with pronounced contrast and flared, wedge-like finishing strokes, creating a distinctive display-friendly texture that still feels rooted in traditional print typography.
Spacing appears moderately tight for such a heavy, contrasty design, creating a dense, poster-ready rhythm. Numerals are robust and oldstyle-leaning in feel, matching the lively, calligraphic detailing seen across the lowercase. The design maintains consistency in its wedge/flare endings, giving text a cohesive, slightly animated sparkle.
