This typeface features sharply cut serif forms with pronounced tapering and flared stroke endings that create a carved, sculptural rhythm. Strokes transition quickly from hairline-like connections to heavy verticals, with crisp, triangular terminals and neatly pointed apexes on letters such as A and V. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy shapes with prominent brackets and wedge-like feet, while curves (C, G, S, O) are tightly controlled and slightly narrowed, reinforcing a dense, authoritative texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing thick main strokes with fine joins and pointed finishing details for a cohesive set.
It is well suited to headlines, magazine or newspaper display typography, posters, and book covers where strong contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated. The dense, dramatic color also supports branding and title treatments that need a classical but attention-grabbing serif voice.
The overall tone is commanding and refined, evoking traditional print typography with a dramatic, high-impact presence. Its sharp terminals and tense contrast give it an assertive, editorial voice, while the flared detailing adds a subtly ornamental, crafted character rather than a purely mechanical feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif impression with heightened drama through extreme contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals. It aims for a premium, print-forward feel, balancing classical proportions with sharper, more theatrical finishing to increase impact in display settings.
Spacing appears designed to hold together as a dark, continuous headline color, with narrow internal counters that amplify punch at display sizes. The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a straight, formal roman with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, angular finishing.
