This is a high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines set against very weighty stems. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into pointed, wedge-like terminals, giving the outlines a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than a purely rational, bookish finish. Curves are generous and round in bowls and counters, while joins and terminals show decisive, angular cuts that create a lively rhythm across lines. Capitals read broad and commanding, and the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure with crisp, incisive details that become more pronounced at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and title treatments where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and brand marks that want a classic serif voice with extra drama, while extended paragraph use will emphasize a bold, editorial texture.
The overall tone is editorial and theatrical: confident, formal, and slightly baroque in its contrast and terminal treatment. It suggests prestige and tradition, but with enough sharpness and motion to feel emphatic and attention-seeking in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened contrast and expressive, flared terminals—aiming for impact and elegance in display typography while retaining familiar letterforms for readability.
The numerals and round letters (like 0, O, Q, 8, 9) emphasize the contrast through thin internal strokes and thick outer arcs, producing a punchy black-and-white texture. In text settings the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a distinctive sparkle; spacing appears comfortable for display, while the heaviest strokes dominate the color on longer paragraphs.
