A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and wedge-like, bracketed terminals that flare softly at the ends of stems. The letterforms feel compact and sturdy, with round counters and a steady vertical rhythm; curves are smoothly modulated while joins stay crisp and decisive. Uppercase forms read monumental and slightly condensed in color, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with strong verticals, compact bowls, and sharply defined serifs that remain distinct at text sizes. Figures are weighty and traditional, with clear differentiation and tapered curves that match the serifed, high-contrast construction.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book work where a strong, classical serif voice is desired. Its firm color and sharp terminals make it effective for branding, posters, and display lines, while the controlled rhythm and moderate lowercase proportions support comfortable reading in short-to-medium text blocks.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a refined, editorial presence. It projects seriousness and credibility while retaining a slightly dramatic, print-forward sharpness from the flared terminals and strong contrast.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added punch: strong contrast and flared, wedge-like finishing that increases presence on the page. It prioritizes a confident texture and clear, classical shapes that feel at home in print-led, editorial contexts.
Serif shaping is consistent across the set, creating a dark, even texture in paragraphs. The design favors sturdy stems and crisp terminals over delicate hairlines, which helps maintain clarity in dense settings while keeping a classical, engraved-like formality.
