A high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed, subtly flared stroke endings and crisp, knife-like terminals. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with sturdy verticals and tapered joins that create a slightly carved, calligraphic feel. Counters are generous and rounded, while many curves finish in pointed beaks or wedges (notably in letters like a, g, s, and the diagonals of k, v, w, x). Uppercase proportions feel traditional and stately, and the numerals follow the same sharp, high-contrast rhythm with distinct, angular finishing strokes.
Best suited to display-led typography such as headlines, magazine or newspaper styling, book and album covers, and branded statements where a confident, classic voice is needed. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when given adequate size and spacing to keep the sharp terminals from crowding.
The overall tone is authoritative and refined, with a dramatic, print-like presence. Its sharp terminals and sculpted modulation add a touch of theatricality, while the underlying classic structure keeps it composed and professional.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by combining classic proportions with pronounced contrast and flared, chiseled finishing strokes. It aims to deliver strong editorial impact and a distinctive, slightly calligraphic bite without sacrificing a conventional serif foundation.
At text sizes the high contrast and pointed terminals produce a lively texture, with noticeable sparkle along the baseline and cap line. The bold weight and compact, sturdy stems help maintain impact in headlines, while the more intricate terminals can read as slightly ornamental in dense settings.
