A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and sharply tapered hairlines. Stems feel sculpted and subtly flared into wedge-like, bracketed terminals, giving the letters a chiseled, calligraphic finish rather than a strictly geometric one. Capitals are tall and imposing, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable rhythm with clear apertures and crisp joins. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, with elegant curves and decisive terminals that keep them consistent in texture with the letters.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and larger-size editorial typography where the sharp contrast and flared terminals can read cleanly. It also works well for magazine or book cover titling, cultural branding, and premium packaging where a classic, authoritative serif tone is desired. For long passages, it will perform most comfortably at moderate sizes with adequate leading to let the contrast breathe.
The overall tone is formal and confident, with a distinctly editorial presence. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add a sense of drama and refinement, suggesting tradition and craft without feeling ornamental. The voice is serious and commanding, suited to content that benefits from gravitas.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with more expressive, flared stroke endings to create impact and sophistication. It aims for a bold, premium text-and-display voice that stands out in editorial contexts while retaining familiar readability.
In continuous text the pronounced thick–thin pattern creates a lively, slightly shimmering texture, especially where dense strokes meet tight counters. The strong finishing strokes on letters like C, S, and G read as deliberate and expressive, helping headlines feel energetic while maintaining a classical foundation.
