A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wide, wedge-like bracketed serifs. Strokes show a subtly calligraphic feel: terminals often end in rounded ball-like forms or gently flared tips, and joins are softened rather than sharply mechanical. Proportions are moderately condensed in some capitals while many lowercase forms are broader, creating a lively, slightly uneven rhythm across words. Counters are fairly open, with teardrop-like apertures and sturdy verticals that keep the color dark and authoritative at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its high contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, pull quotes, and identity work. It can also work for short-form editorial text or titling, especially when a traditional but characterful serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classical and emphatic, with a vintage editorial presence. It reads as confident and slightly theatrical—more expressive than a neutral book serif—suggesting tradition, ceremony, and headline gravitas.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with more decorative, calligraphic terminal shaping to create a distinctive, attention-holding texture. It prioritizes personality and impact over strict neutrality, offering a classic voice with extra flourish for titling and branding.
Distinctive details include the rounded, droplet-like terminals in letters such as a, c, f, and s, plus a strong, sculpted top on T and a decorative tail on Q. Numerals carry the same high-contrast, serifed construction and feel suited to prominent use rather than quiet tabular settings.
