A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and crisp, giving the contours a carved, slightly calligraphic feel rather than a purely mechanical construction. Proportions are generous and open, with wide capitals and a steady, traditional rhythm; round letters (C, O, Q) are full and smooth while diagonals and joins (K, V, W, X) are sharply defined. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with strong verticals and compact, weighty bowls, producing an overall dense but readable texture at display-to-text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and news-style typography, and book-cover or chapter-opening work where a confident serif voice is needed. It can also support premium branding and packaging, particularly where a classic, authoritative look is desirable and the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is formal and confident, with a distinctly editorial presence—bold enough to command attention while still feeling rooted in classical book typography. High contrast and flared endings add drama and a crafted, premium character that reads as traditional, serious, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra impact: traditional proportions and readability combined with flared, sculptural terminals that heighten contrast and give the letterforms a distinctive, crafted presence.
The numerals are heavy and high-contrast with strong vertical stress, matching the assertive color of the letters. Punctuation and dots appear round and substantial, reinforcing the weighty, print-forward texture in running text.
