A compact serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sculpted, flared stroke endings that give stems a subtly chiseled profile. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered transitions into the main strokes and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Counters are relatively tight and vertical stress is evident across rounded forms, while diagonals and joins show deliberate thinning that reinforces the rhythmic contrast. The overall silhouette is clean and upright, with a tightly controlled, slightly condensed rhythm that keeps headlines punchy and dense.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and flared endings can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium impression, and works well for display text in magazines or cultural materials where dense, confident typography is desired.
The tone is editorial and authoritative, combining classical bookish cues with a more dramatic, display-oriented contrast. It reads as serious and refined, suited to institutions or brands that want a traditional voice with added bite and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with heightened contrast and tapered, flared finishing—balancing classic readability cues with a more theatrical, attention-grabbing texture for display-led typography.
Uppercase forms feel stately and compact, with sturdy verticals and energetic serifs; lowercase maintains clarity with compact bowls and crisp terminals. Numerals are bold and highly legible, with strong vertical emphasis and distinct shapes that hold up well in prominent settings.
