A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that create a carved, classical silhouette. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with crisp joins and tapered entry/exit strokes, giving many letters a slightly calligraphic feel despite an overall upright stance. Proportions are broad with generous internal spaces; round letters are full and weighty while diagonals and arms end in sharp, wedge-like finishing. The lowercase uses a two-storey a and g, sturdy verticals, and compact apertures that keep the texture dense at text sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and flared serifs can read as intentional detail. It can also work for short-form editorial or pull quotes when ample size and spacing are available to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a stately, editorial seriousness. Its dramatic contrast and flared endings add a refined, slightly theatrical presence suited to emphatic, headline-forward typography.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif authority with a more sculpted, flared finish, creating a strong display voice that feels both literary and contemporary in its sharp, controlled modulation.
In the sample text, the strong stroke modulation and wide set produce a dark, rhythmic color with noticeable word-shape emphasis. Numerals appear robust and old-style in feel, with curving strokes and pronounced contrast that visually harmonize with the capitals.
