This typeface shows sharply modeled, high-contrast letterforms with a distinctly sculpted serif treatment. Stems flare subtly into wedge-like, bracketed terminals, giving the joins and endings a carved, ink-trap-free feel rather than flat slabs. Curves are taut and oval counters are narrow-to-moderate, with crisp apexes in letters like A and V and a compact, purposeful rhythm in text. Lowercase forms are sturdy and bookish, with a single-storey g, a compact ear on r, and firm, vertical stress across round letters; numerals share the same contrast and tapered finishing, staying clear at display sizes.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and other display-forward editorial work where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also suits book covers, magazine typography, and brand marks that want a classic foundation with a more sculpted, contemporary edge.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, balancing classical book typography cues with a slightly more dramatic, fashion-forward sharpness. It feels confident and formal, suited to settings where contrast and sculpted detail signal quality and authority.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional high-contrast serif construction with flared, wedge-like endings that add presence and a crafted finish. It aims for a premium reading and titling voice—recognizably classical, but sharpened for modern editorial impact.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively texture with pronounced vertical emphasis, while the flared terminals keep strokes from feeling brittle. The punctuation and capitals read especially well for titling, and the figures appear designed to harmonize with the uppercase contrast and proportions.
