A high-contrast serif with a broad footprint and crisp, sharply tapered detailing. Serifs are bracketed with subtle flare, and many terminals finish in pointed, ink-trap-like wedges that give the forms a carved, sculptural feel. Curves are generous and round, while joins and corners stay clean and decisive, producing a steady rhythm despite the pronounced thick–thin modulation. Numerals and capitals appear especially expansive, with wide bowls and strong horizontal emphasis that reads confidently at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast and wide proportions can project presence and clarity. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, as well as branding systems that want a classic serif voice with extra drama for titles and key messaging.
The overall tone is editorial and formal, mixing classical serif refinement with a more theatrical, attention-grabbing sharpness. It feels assertive and polished—suited to contexts where tradition and impact need to coexist.
The font appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading model with heightened contrast and widened proportions for stronger display impact. Its sharp terminals and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of combining classic editorial credibility with a more pronounced, stylized finish.
The design leans on strong verticals paired with hairline connections and pointed finishing strokes, creating a bright, sparkling texture in text. Lowercase includes several distinctive wedge terminals and pronounced curves that add character without tipping into novelty.
