A high-contrast serif with sharply cut, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke joins that give stems a sculpted, tapering feel. The capitals are formal and well-proportioned with crisp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and clear hairline-to-stem transitions. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a traditional double-storey g and pointed, wedge-like finishing on many terminals; the rhythm alternates between sturdy verticals and fine hairlines for a lively texture. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin entry strokes that keep figures crisp at display sizes.
This design performs best in headlines, decks, and other display settings where its contrast and sharp finishing can read cleanly. It also suits editorial layouts such as magazine titles, book covers, pull quotes, and premium brand touchpoints that benefit from a traditional, confident serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying refinement and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast suggest a literary, print-rooted sensibility suited to formal communication and polished branding.
The typeface appears intended to merge classical serif construction with a subtle flared, chisel-like finishing, creating a familiar bookish foundation with added edge and presence. It prioritizes high-contrast elegance and clear letterforms that stand out in display typography.
In continuous text the font produces a strong, dark color with pronounced sparkle from hairlines, while flared transitions soften some joins and add a slightly carved, engraved character. Rounded letters like O and Q feel generous and open, balancing the more angular, chiseled details elsewhere.
