A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, hairline connecting strokes, and bracketed, slightly flared serifs. The shapes lean broad and open, with generous counters and a strong vertical stress that gives lines a steady, stately rhythm. Terminals frequently finish in teardrop/ball forms (notably on letters like a, c, f, g, j, y), adding a sculpted, calligraphic accent to an otherwise conventional text structure. Numerals are robust and display-oriented, matching the heavy-and-hairline contrast and crisp serif treatment.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It also works for editorial branding and book-cover titling, and can set short passages when ample size and spacing preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a touch of theatrical flair from the pronounced contrast and rounded terminals. It reads as formal and editorial, conveying authority and polish rather than friendliness or casualness.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif text model with heightened contrast and expressive terminal treatment, producing a dignified, attention-getting face for editorial and titling contexts.
The bold weight combined with fine hairlines creates a pronounced sparkle in text and makes the joins and internal curves feel crisp. Uppercase forms are especially commanding, while the lowercase keeps a compact, bookish texture with distinctive terminal details that can become a stylistic signature at larger sizes.
