A compact, display-leaning serif with sharply chiseled joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes flare subtly into wedge-like terminals and bracketing, producing sculpted serifs rather than slabby feet. Many forms feature ball or teardrop terminals and small beaks, with tight inner counters and a slightly condensed, vertical stance. The rhythm is energetic and textured, with spiky diagonals and firm verticals that read cleanly at larger sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-form editorial settings where its contrast and terminal detailing can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, posters, and book-cover titling that benefits from a classic yet assertive serif voice, while longer text would typically require generous size and spacing to avoid crowding in the tight counters.
The overall tone feels editorial and classical, with a dramatic, high-style presence reminiscent of traditional print typography. Its crisp terminals and emphatic contrast give it a confident, slightly theatrical voice suited to prestige and headline moments.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with added visual bite through flared terminals and crisp, ornamental finishing. Its emphasis on contrast, compact proportions, and decorative terminal treatment suggests a focus on high-impact typography for display and brand-forward applications.
The uppercase shows strong weight concentration on verticals and sharp, tapered finishing strokes, while the lowercase keeps a compact, sturdy color with distinctive terminal shapes. Numerals appear tailored for display, with pronounced contrast and calligraphic finishing that matches the letterforms’ sculpted texture.
