This typeface shows a strongly serifed, sculpted construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed joins. Stems feel sturdy while terminals and serifs taper into flared, wedge-like endings, creating a carved, slightly calligraphic edge rather than a purely mechanical finish. Proportions are generously set with open counters and a steady, upright stance; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with traditional, two-storey forms where expected. Numerals and capitals carry weighty vertical emphasis, while diagonals (V/W/Y/X) retain sharp, clean apexes that read clearly at display sizes.
It is well suited to headline and title work where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated—magazine mastheads, book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding. In short text settings it can deliver an elegant, traditional texture, especially when ample size and leading preserve the crisp details of the serifs and modulation.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence that suggests heritage publishing and institutional gravitas. The flared endings add a crafted, human touch, keeping the mood refined rather than stark or industrial.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif authority with a more sculptural, flared finishing, producing a display-forward voice that still feels rooted in traditional letterforms. Its construction prioritizes impact and elegance, aiming for a strong typographic signature in editorial and identity contexts.
Stroke contrast is most noticeable in curved letters (C, G, S, O) and in the bowls of B/P/R, giving a lively rhythm across text. The serif treatment stays consistent across cases, helping the font maintain a cohesive, polished color in headlines and short passages.
