A bold, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered wedge serifs and distinctly bracketed joins. Stems are heavy and steady while hairlines pinch to fine points, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm across both cases. Proportions feel slightly condensed in several capitals, with broad, sculpted curves on letters like C, G, and O, and prominent, triangular terminals that give the outlines a faceted look. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey g, a compact, pointed-shoulder r, and a crisp, narrow t; punctuation and figures follow the same chiseled, high-contrast logic.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and large editorial pull quotes where the contrast and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging applications that want a classic-but-striking serif voice, especially in short bursts of text rather than long reading.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, display-forward sharpness. Its bright, cutting terminals and strong contrast lend a sense of luxury and editorial polish, while the angular detailing adds drama and personality.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that blends traditional Roman construction with more angular, chiseled serif forms to heighten contrast and impact. Its emphasis on sharp terminals, sturdy stems, and sculpted curves suggests a focus on display performance and a distinctive editorial presence.
In text settings the dense verticals create a strong color on the page, with distinctive sparkle from the thin hairlines and sharp serifs. The design’s character comes through most clearly at larger sizes, where the pointed terminals and bracket shapes read as intentional detailing rather than texture.
