A high-contrast serif with pronounced swelling and tapering through the strokes, giving the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs read as wedge-like and flared rather than blunt, with evident bracketed joins and crisp, sharply cut terminals. Curves are full and weighty while hairlines stay tight, creating a strong thick–thin rhythm; counters are moderately open and often slightly asymmetrical in a lively, drawn manner. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with a prominent ear on "g" and a single-storey "g" construction, while figures are similarly high-contrast with elegant, sweeping joins.
Well suited for impactful headlines, magazine/editorial typography, and book-cover titling where contrast and sharp terminals can read crisply. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, and branded wordmarks that benefit from a classic-yet-dramatic serif voice, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, with a theatrical, editorial presence that feels rooted in traditional book and display typography. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, lending text an emphatic, headline-ready voice.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif authority with a more expressive, flared-stem finish—delivering high-contrast drama without resorting to slabby weight. Its letterforms emphasize strong vertical structure and sculpted terminals to create a distinctive display texture that remains grounded in familiar serif proportions.
Texture in paragraphs is dark and punchy, with clear vertical emphasis and a rhythmic sparkle from the thin strokes. The design’s flared endings and sharp internal cuts give many letters a carved, inked-on-paper character that stands out at larger sizes, while remaining coherent and steady in running lines.
