A strongly structured serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden into sharp, wedge-like endings. The strokes feel calligraphically influenced: curves are taut and confident, joins are clean, and serifs read as chiseled points rather than slabs. Proportions are fairly compact with sturdy capitals, round forms that stay open, and lining figures that echo the same tapered, high-contrast construction. Overall rhythm is punchy and dark, with crisp edges and a consistent, refined modulation across the alphabet.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display applications where its contrast and flared endings can read cleanly and add character. It can also work for short editorial passages, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a classic, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial seriousness with a polished, high-end tone. Its sharp flares and dramatic contrast add ceremony and gravitas, giving it a slightly theatrical, prestige feel while remaining conventional enough for familiar typographic settings.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif conventions with a more sculptural, flared finishing, producing a confident display serif that reads as both traditional and distinctive. The consistent modulation and sharpened terminals suggest a focus on dramatic presence and refined, print-like texture.
Uppercase forms present a strong presence with clear vertical stress and decisive finishing strokes; diagonals and spurs sharpen the texture, keeping letterforms lively at display sizes. In text, the weight and contrast create a bold color on the page, making spacing and punctuation feel assertive and prominent.
