A sculpted serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems and main strokes feel weighty and steady, while diagonals and curves taper to fine hairlines, creating crisp inner counters and a lively rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often flare out from the stems, giving stroke endings a chiseled, slightly calligraphic finish rather than a flat slab. Proportions lean broad with generous capitals and open bowls, and the lowercase keeps a traditional, moderately sized x-height with clearly differentiated ascenders and descenders.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine typography, and cover work where high contrast and flared serifs can carry a refined, premium voice. It can also serve for short passages in editorial layouts when ample size and leading are used to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a sharper, more dramatic contrast. It reads as formal and authoritative, with a stylish edge that can feel theatrical when set large.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif construction: robust verticals, elegant hairlines, and flared/bracketed endings that add character and authority for display and editorial settings.
The design shows strong, consistent contrast across rounds and straights, and the flared stroke endings add a distinctive sparkle in display sizes. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly sculpted terminals and clear silhouettes, supporting typographic emphasis without looking geometric or monolinear.
