This typeface presents a robust serif voice with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sculpted, wedge-like terminals that flare into sharp, triangular serifs. Curves are generously rounded yet tightly controlled, with compact counters and a steady, upright axis that keeps letterforms stable at display sizes. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with strong vertical emphasis, while details like ball terminals and sharply cut joins add a crisp, engraved quality. Numerals and capitals feel weighty and well-anchored, with clear, high-contrast silhouettes suited to impactful settings.
It performs especially well in headlines, subheads, and large text where the high contrast and sharp flared terminals can be appreciated. It also suits magazine and book-cover typography, premium branding, and formal poster or invitation work, while extended small-size text may require careful sizing and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting confidence and formality with a slightly dramatic, old-style sophistication. Its sharp serifs and glossy contrast give it a premium, institutional feel that reads as serious and established rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif authority with an added sense of cut-stone sharpness through flared, wedge-shaped serifs and confident contrast. It aims for high-impact readability and a refined, editorial presence in display-oriented applications.
Stroke endings tend to widen into pointed, flared serifs, creating a distinctive rhythm where horizontals and diagonals resolve into crisp, blade-like tips. The italic is not shown; in the provided upright only, the design relies on contrast and terminal shaping for character rather than ornament.
