This typeface pairs sturdy verticals with sharply tapered joins and pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often flare out of the stems, creating a sculpted, almost chiseled finish rather than a purely hairline terminal. Curves (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R) are smooth and full, while diagonals and arms taper into pointed wedges that add snap. The lowercase shows compact, well-defined counters and a single-storey a, with lively, slightly calligraphic details in joins and terminals.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short text passages when set with ample leading and a comfortable size, but its dense texture suggests it’s strongest as a headline and titling face.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional with a theatrical edge. Its strong contrast and flared finishing give it a refined, editorial feel—confident and attention-grabbing without becoming ornamental.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with extra energy through flared stroke endings and strong contrast—evoking engraved or calligraphic influence while staying firmly in a modern display serif framework.
In text, the bold color and tight interior spaces create a dense rhythm that reads best when given generous size and line spacing. The numerals and caps are particularly display-forward, with sharp wedge-like terminals that emphasize vertical stress and add a crisp, engraved impression.
