A high-contrast serif with pronounced modulation between thick verticals and thin hairlines, paired with braced, wedge-like serifs that flare out of the main strokes. The design shows a sculpted, slightly calligraphic construction: terminals often sharpen to points or thin wedges, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals) carry a taut, polished tension. Proportions lean traditional with sturdy capitals and compact, well-contained lowercase, while spacing and rhythm feel firm and deliberate, making word shapes look dense and authoritative.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large-size editorial typography where its contrast and sculpted serifs can read cleanly. It also fits book and magazine covers, cultural posters, and brand marks seeking a classic, authoritative voice with a touch of drama.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, with a refined, old-world seriousness that reads as formal and premium. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings add drama and a sense of crafted sophistication, suitable for content that wants to feel established and carefully curated.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on traditional serif letterforms, emphasizing flared stroke endings and strong contrast to deliver an elegant, impactful reading experience in display and editorial settings.
The numerals and punctuation inherit the same sharp contrast and flared details, giving figures a stately, display-forward presence. In longer text the strong stroke contrast and pointed terminals create a crisp, high-impact texture, especially at larger sizes.
