A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, shaped by calligraphic modulation and flared joins. Serifs are finely bracketed and often sharpen to pointed, wedge-like terminals, while several lowercase forms feature rounded ball terminals and teardrop-like endings. Capitals feel broad and monumental with generous interior space, and the overall rhythm alternates between dense stems and thin linking strokes, giving the face a distinctly sculpted, display-led texture.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and terminal details can stay clear—magazine headlines, book cover titling, cultural posters, and premium branding. In longer passages it can work as a distinctive editorial text face when set with comfortable size and spacing, letting its contrast and short x-height remain readable.
The tone is formal and dramatic, mixing old-style refinement with a slightly eccentric, decorative bite. It suggests editorial sophistication and classic publishing, but with enough terminal flair and contrast to feel theatrical and attention-seeking in headlines.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif construction with heightened contrast and expressive terminals, aiming for an elevated, print-forward voice. It prioritizes character and silhouette over neutrality, delivering a refined but unmistakably decorative presence for titles and statement typography.
The short x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders create a vertical, literary color in text. Numerals and uppercase maintain a strong, stately presence, and the sharp diagonals in letters like V, W, and X add extra snap to word shapes.
