A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and pronounced bracketing that gives the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Thick verticals dominate while hairline joins and cross-strokes stay sharp and clean, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. The capitals are broad and stately with strong wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase shows lively, slightly irregular modulation and generous curves (notably in a, g, e, and y). Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with rounded bowls and pointed finishing strokes that maintain a consistent, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper display, poster typography, and brand marks where strong contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes, particularly in high-quality print or large digital sizes where fine hairlines won’t break down.
The overall tone is assertive and elegant, balancing classical bookish authority with a theatrical, fashion-like edge. Its sharp contrast and flared endings feel ceremonial and confident, with just enough calligraphic energy to read as expressive rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-impact serif voice with classical roots, using flared terminals and strong modulation to create memorable shapes and a confident page presence.
In text, the dense weight and hairline details create a strong, dark color that rewards larger sizes and good reproduction. The flared terminals and deep bracketing add distinctive silhouettes, especially in round letters and in characters with diagonal strokes.
