A dense, high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed, slightly flared serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. Curves terminate in rounded, teardrop-like and ball-like terminals, giving many letters a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than crisp, squared endings. The capitals feel substantial and stately, with a relatively low crossbar on A and broad bowls on letters like B and D; the lowercase is compact with sturdy stems, a two-storey a, and a single-storey g with a rounded ear. Numerals appear oldstyle in character, mixing ascenders and descenders and reinforcing an editorial, bookish texture in running text.
Works best for display and short-to-medium text where its strong contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated—such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, poster typography, and branding that aims for a classic, premium feel. In long passages it will produce a noticeably dark typographic color, making it particularly effective when generous leading and margins are available.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a touch of theatrical flair from the swelling strokes and rounded terminals. It reads as formal and literary, suited to content that wants weight and presence without becoming purely ornamental.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif voice by combining traditional proportions with more expressive, rounded terminals and pronounced bracketing, creating a recognizable signature in both caps and lowercase while retaining clear letterforms.
Spacing and rhythm create a dark, continuous color at text sizes, while the distinctive terminal shapes keep headlines lively. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes a strong roman voice with decorative details concentrated in terminals and serif joins.
