A heavy, display-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and broad proportions. Serifs read as wedge-like and sharply cut, with subtle bracketing and lively, slightly calligraphic joins that create a sculpted, flared-stroke feel. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and the curves (notably in rounds like C/O and the bowls of b/p) are full and emphatic. The italic is not present; roman forms keep an upright stance while showing dynamic stroke shaping across letters and figures.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and title typography where strong contrast and wedge-like serifs can read clearly and add character. It can work for short blocks of editorial text at comfortable sizes, but its dense weight and tight counters make it particularly effective for display roles such as posters, book covers, and premium packaging.
The tone is bold and high-drama: traditional enough to feel literary and established, yet energetic and attention-grabbing due to the sharp wedges and strong contrast. It suggests premium editorial styling—confident, authoritative, and slightly theatrical rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver classic serif authority with added punch: a conventional reading-serifs foundation amplified into a high-contrast, wedge-seriffed display voice. The goal seems to be strong brand presence and memorable editorial texture while keeping familiar letter structures.
The design shows noticeable personality in terminals and diagonals, giving text a rhythmic, almost engraved look at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and stylized, matching the letterforms’ sharp, flared finishing strokes and maintaining a cohesive, headline-ready texture.
