A bold, high-contrast serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and flared, wedge-like terminals that give strokes a carved, sculptural finish. Curves are generously rounded with tight inner counters and deep notches at joins, producing an ink-trap-like bite in letters such as B, S, and a. Capitals feel broad and steady with strong vertical stress, while lowercase shows compact bowls and sturdy stems with a traditional, two-storey a and g. Numerals are heavy and assertive, with clear oldstyle-like curvature and crisp serifed finishing throughout.
This style is well suited to headlines, magazine or newspaper-style display typography, posters, and book covers where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium, slightly theatrical presence, especially at larger sizes where the notched joins and flared endings can be appreciated.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that reads as established and confident. The sharp wedges and deep joins add a slightly dramatic, vintage flavor—more headline-forward than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif voice with added character from flared terminals and notched joins, balancing classic proportions with a more dramatic, carved-looking finish for display impact.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, helping the dense counters and dark color stay legible. The mix of sharp wedge endings and rounded bowls creates a lively rhythm that looks especially strong in all-caps and short phrases.
