A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, tapered hairlines, and flared, wedge-like stroke endings that read as subtly calligraphic without becoming ornate. Serifs are sharp and directional with modest bracketing, producing a crisp, carved silhouette and a lively thick–thin rhythm. Counters are generally generous and round (notably in O, Q, and 8), while joins and terminals often pinch into pointed tips, giving the forms a slightly chiseled finish. Lowercase shows a traditional structure with compact shoulders and a robust, readable texture; numerals are similarly high-contrast with elegant curves and pronounced terminal shaping.
Best suited to editorial display work such as magazine headings, book and journal titling, and brand identities that want a classic-but-striking serif voice. It can also serve for short text passages or pull quotes where a strong, high-contrast texture is desirable, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a dramatic, editorial snap created by the sharp serifs and pronounced contrast. It feels institutional and serious, but the flared terminals add energy and a hint of hand-drawn heritage, keeping it from looking purely mechanical or neutral.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif proportions with energetic flaring and sharpened terminals, delivering a traditional voice with heightened contrast and a distinctive, sculpted finish for impactful typography.
In text, the face builds a dark, assertive color that suits larger sizes; the sharp terminals and contrast create strong word shapes and crisp emphasis in headlines. The design’s pointed terminals and tapered curves are especially noticeable in letters like S, a, s, and in the 2/3/5, contributing to a distinctive, slightly carved impression.
