A high-contrast serif with sharp, triangular wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals, crisp joins, and a rhythmic alternation of heavy stems and hairline-like connections. Counters are relatively open, the x-height reads tall for a serif, and the overall proportions favor sturdy verticals with lively, angled details that add bite in both capitals and lowercase. Figures match the bold, display-forward color, with strong vertical stress and distinctive wedge endings.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, posters, and book or album covers where its contrast and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a classic-but-dramatic serif voice, especially when set with generous tracking or in short text runs.
The font projects an editorial, formal tone with a dramatic, old-world gravitas. Its sharp serifs and contrast create a sense of authority and ceremony, while the energetic wedges add a slightly theatrical, fashion-forward edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing serif with classical roots, using exaggerated wedge serifs and strong contrast to create distinctive, memorable silhouettes in display contexts.
At larger sizes the crisp wedges and contrast produce striking word-shapes, especially in mixed-case settings. In dense lines, the pointed serif shapes and thin connections can create a busy texture, making spacing and size choices important for comfortable reading.
