This typeface presents a high-contrast serif construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring stroke endings. Serifs read as sculpted and bracketed rather than blunt, with a subtly calligraphic feel in the joins and terminals. Proportions lean generously wide, with open counters and a steady, upright rhythm; capitals feel stately and evenly balanced, while the lowercase keeps a controlled, readable texture. Curves are smooth and tense, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) show crisp, chiseled transitions that reinforce the formal, display-oriented character.
It performs best in headlines and large text where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated, making it a strong choice for magazine layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding. In short passages or pull quotes, it can add a formal, literary tone while maintaining clear letterforms.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and flared details convey a sense of tradition and prestige, while the open spacing and wide stance keep it composed and confident rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with expressive, flared finishing, creating a display-ready face that feels traditional yet energized. Its wide proportions and crisp modulation suggest a focus on impactful, polished typography for prominent settings.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear silhouettes suited to prominent settings. The text sample shows a lively rhythm at larger sizes, where the flaring terminals and sculpted serifs become part of the visual voice rather than disappearing into texture.
