This typeface shows high-contrast strokes with a distinctly calligraphic modulation: thick verticals and bowls paired with fine hairline joins and terminals. Proportions run broad and open, with generous counters and a steady, upright stance. Many terminals subtly flare and several strokes end with small bracket-like transitions, giving the outlines a sculpted, engraved feel even where serifs are minimal. Curves are smooth and round, and spacing reads consistent in text, with punctuation and numerals matching the same sharp thick–thin rhythm.
It performs best at display sizes where the high contrast and flared terminals can read cleanly—headlines, magazine titles, book covers, and branding work are natural fits. It can also support short passages or pull quotes when set with adequate size and leading, where its wide rhythm and open counters help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels editorial and tradition-minded—confident, composed, and slightly ceremonious. Its pronounced contrast and crisp finishing details lend it a sense of authority and polish, suitable for settings that want a classic, refined voice without looking overly decorative.
The design appears intended to combine broad, contemporary proportions with a classical, high-contrast drawing and subtly flared finishing. The goal seems to be a refined display face that carries an editorial, premium tone while remaining clear and structured in typical Latin text settings.
In the samples, the lowercase shows clear differentiation between similar forms (notably the single-storey shapes and the generous apertures), and the numerals share the same strong contrast and wide set. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the visible dots and punctuation appear solid and well-balanced against the heavier stems.
