This typeface presents a high-contrast serif build with narrow proportions and pronounced flare at stroke endings, creating wedge-like serifs rather than slabs. Vertical stems read strong and dark, while hairlines are fine and sharp, producing a crisp, sculpted rhythm across words. Curves (C, O, Q) are clean and tightly drawn, and joins tend to be decisive and angular, giving counters a slightly pinched, energetic tension. The lowercase shows compact, upright forms with a clearly defined x-height and narrow apertures; the numerals follow the same contrasty pattern, with notably thin diagonals and small, pointed terminals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display sizes where its contrast and flared serif detail can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial titling, branding wordmarks, and premium packaging where a classic-but-striking serif voice is desired; extended body text may require careful size and spacing due to the sharp contrast and tight proportions.
The overall tone is refined and commanding, combining classical editorial polish with a slightly assertive, stylized edge. Its sharp contrast and flared terminals lend a dramatic, high-end voice that feels suited to statement typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with more theatrical flare at terminals, maximizing impact and elegance in display settings. Its narrow set and crisp hairlines suggest an emphasis on strong verticality, refined detail, and headline authority.
In text, the face maintains a brisk, vertical cadence with strong black-and-white patterning, which helps headings feel impactful. The flare-and-wedge detailing is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, tying the set together with a distinctive, engraved-like crispness.
