This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with smooth, bracketed transitions and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, expanding finish. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like rather than blocky, producing crisp terminals and a refined, chiseled rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and the joins are clean, with a controlled, print-like texture that stays cohesive across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
It performs best in headlines and short passages where its contrast and sharp serif detailing can be appreciated—magazine titles, book covers, posters, and branding. In larger sizes it delivers a strong editorial texture and a classic, premium presence.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a confident, traditional voice suited to serious messaging. Its crisp serifs and pronounced contrast add a sense of ceremony and authority while still reading as polished and cultivated.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with more sculpted, flared stroke endings for a distinctive, high-impact display color. It aims to project authority and refinement while maintaining a cohesive, publication-ready rhythm across the basic Latin set and numerals.
Capitals feel stately and steady, while the lowercase carries a slightly calligraphic undercurrent through tapered strokes and decisive terminals. Numerals match the same sharp, flared finishing, helping text and figures feel consistent in display settings.
