A compact, high-contrast serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and sharp, tapered joins that give many strokes a subtly calligraphic, chiseled feel. Curves are rounded but tightly controlled, while terminals often finish in small wedges or beak-like details, producing a crisp rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the caps, with a comparatively tall x-height and firm vertical stress that keeps paragraphs dark and cohesive. Numerals are sturdy and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with strong thick–thin transitions and sculpted counters.
Well suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where a bold serif with crisp contrast is desirable. It can also support branding systems that need a traditional, authoritative foundation, especially in short-to-medium text blocks where the sculpted details remain visible.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic voice. Its sharp finishing and sculpted serifs add a hint of historic book typography while still reading as assertive and contemporary in weight.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, classical serif presence with heightened contrast and carefully shaped terminals, balancing traditional bookish cues with a more dramatic, display-forward weight and texture.
In text, the dense color and energetic serif detailing make word shapes feel lively, especially around letters with curved joins (a, e, s, g) and beaked forms (c, f, r). The cap forms read stately and poster-ready, while the lowercase retains enough snap and contrast to keep long lines visually structured.
