A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals and sharply tapered, flared stroke endings that read like wedge serifs. Curves are broad and full, with noticeable thick–thin modulation through bowls and joins, and a rhythm that alternates between strong stems and pinched hairline connections. Serifs are mostly triangular and bracketed into the stems, while several letters show subtly sheared terminals and occasional ball-like finishing on lowercase forms. Proportions lean slightly condensed in caps, while lowercase counters stay generous, producing a dense, authoritative color in text.
Well-suited to headlines, cover lines, and pull quotes where the crisp contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and magazine/editorial design that aims for a classic, authoritative voice, and can work in branding when a traditional, premium impression is desired.
The overall tone feels editorial and tradition-minded, with a slightly theatrical edge from the pronounced contrast and flared terminals. It suggests classic print culture—serious, literary, and established—while still feeling lively due to the sharpened details and energetic curves.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif tradition by amplifying contrast and using flared, wedge-like terminals to create a bold, attention-holding texture. It prioritizes strong silhouette and editorial impact, balancing readable proportions with sharp, expressive finishing.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at display sizes, where the sharp serifs, angled cuts, and contrast become defining features. Numerals appear similarly sculpted and weighty, matching the capital set’s strong presence.
