A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply cut terminals and bracketed wedge-like serifs that give the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Vertical stems are strong and dark while joins and curves taper quickly, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm across both caps and lowercase. The forms show subtly flared strokes and angular inflections (notably in diagonals and arm endings), producing a sculpted silhouette and a dynamic texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic with pronounced serifs and elegant, narrow joints.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and prominent editorial settings where the sharp serif detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for magazine design, book covers, and brand marks seeking a classic, high-contrast voice; for long passages, it will be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels editorial and classic, with a touch of theatrical drama from the sharp cuts and emphatic contrast. It reads as refined and literary rather than neutral, projecting confidence and a traditional print sensibility.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif construction with more decorative, cut-in detailing to create a distinctive, high-contrast display text face that still functions coherently in short blocks of reading.
In text, the contrast and pointed detailing create a strong typographic color, especially at larger sizes where the terminal shapes and bracketing become more apparent. The italic-like liveliness comes from stroke modulation and angled cuts even though the letters remain upright, lending motion without slant.
