This serif face shows sharp, wedge-like serifs and pronounced stroke modulation, with thin hairlines contrasted against fuller verticals and swelling curves. Terminals often flare into tapered points, giving letters a carved, sculptural feel rather than a purely mechanical construction. Proportions are compact with relatively tight inner counters, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the round letters) carry a slightly calligraphic tension. The numerals follow the same idea, mixing crisp edges with tapered ends for a consistent, elegant texture in text.
It is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine titling, and book-cover typography where a refined serif with personality is needed. It can also work in branding and short display lines that benefit from sharp, elegant contrast and distinctive terminals.
The overall tone is formal and expressive, combining classical book-type cues with a slightly theatrical, decorative edge. It reads as refined and authoritative, but with enough sharpness and movement to feel distinctive and intentional in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical serif foundation with heightened contrast and stylized, wedge-like serifs, producing an upscale, attention-getting voice for display typography while remaining coherent enough for larger text blocks.
Distinctive details—like the flared tops on verticals, pointed terminals, and the lively curves—create a rhythmic, slightly ‘chiseled’ texture that stands out in headlines. In longer lines, the high-contrast strokes and tight counters give it a crisp, stately color that favors clean printing and generous spacing.
