A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and sharply cut wedge-like serifs. Curves are round and full, while verticals read dark and decisive, creating strong thick–thin modulation across both caps and lowercase. The design shows a slightly calligraphic logic—terminals taper and swell, joints are crisp, and counters stay open despite the heavy overall color. Proportions are moderately wide with a steady rhythm; capitals feel monumental and the numerals are sturdy and legible with pronounced contrast.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also works for editorial branding, cultural posters, and formal invitations that benefit from a classic, high-impact serif voice.
The tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and tradition with a touch of theatrical drama. Its strong contrast and flared endings evoke book typography and classical inscriptional cues, giving text a confident, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif texture with heightened contrast and flared, chiseled endings—balancing readability with a distinctly display-forward elegance. It prioritizes a strong typographic presence and a refined, literary character.
In display sizes the sharp serifs and tapered terminals create a lively sparkle, while in larger text blocks the bold color and contrast produce a commanding presence. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation (notably in a, g, and y), and the figures have a stately, old-style feel suited to narrative and headline contexts.
