A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into pointed, chiseled terminals, creating a crisp, carved look at joins and stroke endings. Proportions are fairly broad with generous capitals and a sturdy, weighty baseline presence; curves are smooth and open, while counters remain clear despite the heavy stems. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented construction with pronounced stroke modulation and a compact, deliberate rhythm in running settings.
Well-suited for magazine and newspaper-style headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and presence are desired. It can work effectively on posters, book and album covers, and brand or event wordmarks that benefit from a classical yet assertive serif voice.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a slightly theatrical sharpness from the pointed, flared terminals. It feels confident and authoritative, suited to statements that need gravity and visual punch.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened, flared detailing for extra impact. It aims to bridge text-serif familiarity with display-level drama, giving designers a confident voice for prominent typographic hierarchy.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and crisp terminals create a lively texture that reads best at display and headline sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a particularly monumental feel, with prominent verticals and decisive serifing that emphasize structure and hierarchy.
