A dark, display-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into sharp, wedge-like endings, while several lowercase forms show soft ball terminals (notably in letters like a, c, f, and j), creating a distinctive interplay of crisp edges and rounded details. The proportions feel compact with sturdy stems and relatively narrow apertures, and the rhythm is punchy due to the heavy verticals and fine, hairline connections. Numerals and capitals carry the same high-contrast structure, producing a stately, tightly knit texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other short-form setting where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It works well for editorial identities, posters, book and magazine covers, and branding that aims for a classic, authoritative tone. For longer passages, it will likely perform best at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing to preserve the delicate strokes.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a theatrical, headline-ready presence. It evokes classic editorial typography—confident, slightly ornate, and meant to command attention—while the rounded terminals add a hint of warmth to an otherwise formal voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and a bold, attention-grabbing footprint. It balances formal, sharply defined serifs with occasional rounded terminals to add character and memorability in display typography.
The lowercase shows lively detailing in terminals and joins, giving words a distinctive silhouette, especially in sequences with f, j, r, and s. At text sizes the fine hairlines may visually recede, but in display settings the strong contrast and sculpted serifs read as intentional refinement.
