A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply cut terminals and subtly flared joins where strokes meet, giving the stems a gently expanded, sculpted feel rather than blunt slab endings. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence in their modulation and curves, with a moderate x-height, compact counters, and a clear vertical stress through round shapes. Serifs are fine and pointed, with wedge-like entry/exit forms that create a lively rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and capitals carry strong thick–thin transitions, and spacing reads slightly tight in dense text, producing a dark, authoritative texture.
It performs especially well in headlines, magazine titles, and book cover typography where its high contrast and sharp serifs can create an elegant, attention-getting presence. In text, it can work for shorter passages such as introductions, pull quotes, and captions, particularly in print or high-resolution digital settings where fine details remain clean.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—confident and traditional, with a refined sharpness that feels suited to serious content. Its contrast and pointed details add a touch of drama and sophistication, leaning more literary than casual.
The design appears intended to evoke classic serif typography with a contemporary crispness, combining traditional proportions with flared stroke behavior to add refinement and character. It aims to deliver an editorial voice that feels authoritative while remaining visually distinctive.
Several lowercase forms display distinctive, slightly calligraphic endings and tapered strokes (notably in curves and diagonals), which helps the face feel crafted rather than purely mechanical. The overall color is bold for a regular style due to contrast and compact inner spaces, so it reads best where crisp reproduction is available.
