This typeface features sculpted serif forms with pronounced stroke modulation and a crisp, chiseled finish. Stems and major strokes swell and taper into wedge-like, flared endings, creating strong vertical emphasis and sharp triangular terminals. The letterforms show a fairly traditional serif skeleton with lively curvature and compact counters, while the rhythm alternates between dense verticals and hairline connectors for a high-impact page color. Numerals and capitals read as display-oriented, with confident proportions and a slightly theatrical silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work well for luxury branding, magazine covers, and premium packaging, especially in larger sizes where the delicate hairlines and sharp terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, pairing classic bookish cues with a distinctly modern, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrast and flared terminals give it a premium, editorial feel that suggests sophistication and drama rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-contrast, sculptural serif voice that feels both classic and contemporary. By emphasizing flared stroke endings and crisp wedges, it aims to create an elegant, attention-grabbing display texture for editorial and brand-led typography.
Lowercase forms maintain sturdy stems with small, crisp serifs and noticeable tapering into joins, which adds a hand-cut, engraved flavor. The mix of sharp apexes (notably in V/W/X/Y) and rounded bowls (C/O/Q) creates a dynamic texture that stands out in short lines and headings.
