This typeface presents sturdy, high-contrast letterforms with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly shaped, tapered stroke endings. Serifs are crisp and often wedge-like, with bracketing and flare that makes stems feel as if they broaden into the terminals rather than ending bluntly. Curves show tight, controlled transitions, and several glyphs feature pointed spurs and teardrop/ball-like terminals, giving the outlines an inked, slightly carved quality. The overall rhythm is compact and weighty, with confident verticals, lively diagonals, and distinctive, sculpted counters that keep the texture energetic in text.
It performs best in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where its sharp contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. The strong silhouette also suits branding, packaging, and book-cover typography that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The tone is formal and theatrical, blending a classical bookish presence with a slightly expressive, calligraphic bite. It reads as assertive and elegant, suited to settings that want tradition with personality rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to fuse traditional serif proportions with expressive flaring and tapered terminals to create a dramatic, premium texture. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and a lively page color, aiming for impact and personality in display-centric typography.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and emblematic, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic details—especially in terminals and joins—that add character at display sizes. Numerals follow the same sharp, tapered language, maintaining a cohesive, punchy color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
