This typeface is a right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic modulation, with sharp terminals and slightly tapered joins that create a lively, energetic texture in text. Proportions are fairly compact with strong vertical emphasis; rounded forms stay taut and dense, and counters appear moderately tight, helping the design read dark and authoritative at display sizes. The figures follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic, with angled stress and decisive finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where a bold, classical voice is desired. It also works for posters, event materials, and branding that benefits from a formal, heritage-leaning impression and strong typographic contrast.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, with an assertive, slightly theatrical flair. Its strong contrast and emphatic serifs give it a ceremonial, old-world confidence that reads as literary and editorial rather than casual or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with added momentum and drama through its slant, high contrast, and sharp wedge serifs—aiming for authoritative display typography that still retains familiar text-serif structure.
In the uppercase, the sharp serifs and angled stress produce a rhythmic, engraved-like sparkle, while the lowercase maintains a consistent forward motion. The sample text shows an even, weighty color across lines, with a distinctly punchy presence that favors headlines and short passages over long, small-size reading.
