This typeface features sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin transitions that create a distinctly sculpted texture. Strokes often swell into flared terminals, with crisp, pointed joins and compact counters that read as sturdy at display sizes. The uppercase shows a confident, classical stance with slightly narrow bowls and angled stress, while the lowercase maintains a traditional serif construction with a two-storey “a” and “g” and a modestly sized x-height. Numerals are weighty and stylized, with strong contrast and sharp finishing that keeps the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, feature decks, posters, and brand marks where its sharp serifs and high-contrast modeling can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when ample size, leading, and careful spacing are used to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, combining traditional bookish authority with a more theatrical, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast add a sense of luxury and intensity, making text feel deliberate and headline-driven rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared detailing, emphasizing elegance and impact. Its forms prioritize distinctive silhouettes and a strong page presence for editorial and branding applications.
In paragraphs, the high contrast and tight interior spaces create a dark, rhythmic color with prominent vertical emphasis. Pointed terminals and flared stroke endings add distinctive character, especially in diagonals and curved letters, where the stress and tapering become most noticeable.
