This typeface shows a sculpted, high-contrast construction with crisp, wedge-like terminals and clear stroke modulation. Curves are round and weighty, while joins and endings are sharply cut, creating a distinctive rhythm of thick verticals and tapered diagonals. Proportions lean traditional with moderately wide capitals, a compact lowercase, and tight, purposeful counters that hold up well in heavier settings. Numerals and letters share a consistent, engraved feel, with pointed details on diagonals and a generally sturdy, print-forward color.
It is well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where high contrast and sharp terminals can add impact and sophistication. The sturdy weight and clear forms also make it appropriate for editorial packaging such as book covers, magazine titling, and poster typography where a classic yet forceful tone is desired.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, projecting confidence and gravitas. Its sharp terminals and emphatic contrast give it a slightly dramatic, display-ready character that reads as refined rather than casual. In text, it suggests classic publishing and institutional communication, with a formal voice that can become assertive at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to blend traditional, print-oriented proportions with sharper, more contemporary cutting in the terminals, producing a confident display serif for editorial use. It emphasizes contrast and crisp finishing to create a strong typographic color and a distinctive, authoritative voice.
The design’s visual signature is the repeated use of angled, wedge-shaped terminals that add motion and crispness without becoming decorative. The combination of rounded bowls and sharp cuts creates a lively texture in paragraphs, especially where vertical stems stack closely.
