A high-contrast serif with a broad, sturdy set and pronounced wedge-like, flared terminals that give strokes a sculpted, chiseled feel. Curves are round and generously proportioned, while joins and shoulders stay crisp, creating a strong rhythm between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes. Serifs appear bracketed and taper into pointed or beaked ends rather than flat slabs, and the overall spacing feels ample, helping large black shapes remain readable in display settings.
This design works especially well for headlines, magazine and newspaper display typography, posters, and book covers where a strong, classical voice is needed. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for premium, traditional, or heritage-leaning cues, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly theatrical presence. Its sharp terminals and emphatic weight distribution lend a sense of authority and formality, evoking print-era headline typography and refined branding.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a modern take on classical serif display typography: high contrast for elegance, widened proportions for impact, and flared, wedge-like endings for a distinctive, carved finish. The emphasis is on presence and personality over neutral text transparency.
Lowercase forms show assertive, somewhat angular details (notably in the ear and terminals), while the figures are bold and highly contrasted, with compact counters in the heavier digits. The overall texture in text is dark and steady, best suited to settings where strong typographic color is desired.
