A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and sharp wedge-like serifs that feel cut rather than mechanical. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and endings come to crisp points, creating a lively interplay between thick verticals and hairline connections. Proportions lean traditional with a steady baseline rhythm, and capitals feel stately and slightly wide in presence. Lowercase shows clear oldstyle influence in the two-storey a and g, with compact apertures and pronounced entry/exit strokes that reinforce the chiseled texture.
It performs best in editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It can also suit premium branding and campaign materials that want a classical, authoritative voice with pronounced typographic character.
The overall tone is formal and expressive, combining classical bookish cues with a dramatic, display-forward bite. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast read as confident and refined, with an elegant severity that can feel luxurious in the right setting.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif construction through pronounced flaring and knife-like terminals, producing a refined but assertive texture. It aims for strong impact in reading-size display while maintaining recognizable, traditional proportions for comfortable set text in short passages.
The letterforms create a distinctly angular sparkle in text, where hairlines and pointed terminals add emphasis even at larger paragraph settings. Numerals match the same sculpted logic, with bold presence and crisp finishing strokes that keep figures visually consistent with the caps.
