A bold, high-contrast serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden out of the stems, creating a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are generally bracketed and taper to points, while joins and curves show a slightly sheared, dynamic stress rather than purely vertical modulation. Counters are generous and rounded (notably in O, Q, e), and the overall texture is dark but crisp, with strong thick–thin rhythm and clean edges. Lowercase features include a double-storey g, ball-like terminals on letters such as a and j, and compact, sturdy forms that hold together well at display sizes.
Best suited to display and large text settings such as magazine headlines, section openers, book covers, posters, and premium packaging where its flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of emphasis in editorial layouts, especially in titles and subheads.
The font conveys a confident, editorial tone with a traditional, bookish backbone and a touch of theatrical drama. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast add intensity, making it feel formal and emphatic rather than casual or neutral.
Likely designed to blend classical serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings for heightened presence and elegance in display typography. The combination of strong contrast, pointed terminals, and ample counters suggests an aim for distinctive, authoritative branding and editorial voice.
Capitals have a sturdy, monumental presence with pointed, flared finishing strokes, while the lowercase introduces more personality through rounded terminals and lively curves. Numerals follow the same contrast and flaring logic, reading as assertive and attention-grabbing in headlines and pull quotes.
