A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs that read as wedge-like terminals rather than flat slabs. The verticals are sturdy and the hairlines are fine, creating a crisp thick–thin rhythm that becomes especially evident in curves and joins. Counters are relatively compact and the overall color is dense, with sharp, triangular details at the ends of many strokes. The lowercase shows lively, slightly calligraphic shaping (notably in a, g, y), and the numerals follow the same engraved, high-contrast construction with prominent serifs and tapered terminals.
Well suited to headlines, decks, and editorial typography where strong contrast and pronounced serifs can carry personality. It should perform particularly well for magazine titles, book covers, and brand marks that want a classic, authoritative feel with distinctive flared detailing.
The font conveys an editorial, literary tone with a confident, traditional voice. Its dramatic contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of formality and authority, while the subtly calligraphic modulation keeps it expressive rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif construction with pronounced flaring and sharp, sculptural terminals, producing a bold editorial texture. The goal seems to be high impact and refined drama, balancing traditional proportions with conspicuous, signature stroke endings.
At text sizes the dense weight and tight counters create a strong page presence, while at larger sizes the flared endings and triangular cuts become a defining stylistic signature. The capitals feel stately and structured, and the overall rhythm favors impact and elegance over minimalism.
