A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, tapered hairlines, and distinctly flared, bracketed stroke endings that give the serifs a chiseled, sculpted feel. Curves are round and generous, while terminals and joins often resolve into pointed wedges, producing a crisp rhythm and strong silhouette. The lowercase keeps a traditional, readable structure with compact counters and firm shoulders, and the overall texture in text feels dark and steady rather than airy.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and other display-forward typography where the contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial applications like magazine titles, book covers, and pull quotes, especially when a classic serif voice with extra bite is desired.
The design reads as confident and traditional, with a slightly theatrical sharpness from its wedge-like terminals and dramatic contrast. It conveys a literary, institutional tone—serious and established—while still feeling energetic and display-capable in larger sizes.
The type appears designed to evoke a classical serif tradition while emphasizing flared, wedge-like finishing to sharpen impact and improve presence at display sizes. Its consistent modulation and sturdy forms suggest a focus on authoritative tone and strong typographic color for titles and prominent text.
Uppercase forms feel weighty and ceremonial, with broad, stable proportions and pronounced stroke modulation. Numerals match the same sculpted contrast and flared finishing, maintaining a cohesive, emphatic color across mixed text and headings.
