This serif presents robust, sculpted letterforms with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly flared, wedge-like serif treatment. Strokes broaden toward terminals, creating strong triangular/bracketed joins and a carved, chiseled feel, while bowls are generous and counters stay open for a dense-but-readable texture. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy shapes with a short, blunt-shouldered r and a single-storey g; the overall rhythm is punchy and slightly irregular in silhouette due to the flare and swelling at stroke ends.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, and other editorial display settings where contrast and flared serifs can do expressive work. It can also support branding, packaging, and event posters that want a classic foundation with extra bite and visual momentum.
The tone is bold and editorial, blending classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, display-forward presence. Its sharp flares and high contrast give it a dramatic, poster-ready energy while still reading as refined and traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact take on traditional serif construction by amplifying flare and contrast for stronger silhouette and more theatrical emphasis in display typography.
Curved letters (like C, S, and e) emphasize tapered entry/exit strokes that create visible “hooks” at terminals, and diagonals (V, W, Y) feel angular and assertive. Numerals match the text weight and contrast, producing an attention-grabbing, tightly set word image in larger sizes.
