This typeface features pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered serifs and flared stroke endings that give the letters a sculpted, chiseled feel. Capitals are tall and commanding with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and energetic diagonals, while round forms like O and Q show strong contrast and a tight interior. The lowercase maintains a traditional serif structure with a relatively moderate x-height, compact proportions, and clear, high-contrast joins; the a is two-storey and the g is single-storey. Numerals match the text color closely, with strong vertical stress and elegant tapering that keeps the figures punchy at display sizes.
It performs best in headlines, magazine-style layouts, and branding where strong contrast and sharp serif details can read clearly and add character. It can also work for packaging and pull quotes where a refined but forceful voice is desired, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, combining classic bookish cues with a sharper, more theatrical edge. Its strong contrast and pointed details project confidence and sophistication, making it feel suited to high-impact typographic statements rather than neutral reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms, emphasizing tapered, flared details for a distinctive silhouette. It prioritizes impact and elegance, aiming for an expressive display texture that still retains traditional serif familiarity.
Stroke terminals and serifs tend to narrow into fine points, creating a crisp silhouette and a lively rhythm across words. The texture is intentionally uneven in a pleasing way—heavier verticals and sharply cut details create a distinct, attention-grabbing pattern in headlines and short blocks of copy.
