A bold, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed transitions. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation, with robust verticals and sharply tapered hairlines that create crisp joins and pointed terminals in places. Serifs and terminals feel wedge-like and energetic rather than blocky, giving the face a carved, calligraphic imprint while staying upright and structured. Proportions read generously set and headline-friendly, with compact interior counters in many letters that increase visual weight in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, and short impactful passages where high contrast and strong stroke endings can be appreciated. It can also work for branding, packaging, and book-cover titling that benefits from a classic-but-dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, poster-like punch. Its sharp tapers and high contrast add a sense of drama and polish, making it feel formal yet attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened contrast and flared terminals for maximum presence in display sizes. It prioritizes expressive stroke modulation and a sculpted silhouette to create a confident, premium feel.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and tight counters create strong color and presence, especially in dense lines. The numeral set appears sturdy and display-oriented, matching the uppercase’s emphatic rhythm and the lowercase’s compact, lively forms.
