A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and flared, wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. The forms are upright and generously proportioned, with a tall x-height and open counters that help the lowercase read clearly at display sizes. Terminals often finish in angled, chiseled cuts, giving curves and joins a sculpted, slightly calligraphic edge. Overall spacing feels steady and intentional, supporting strong word shapes and a dense, authoritative texture in paragraphs.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. The sturdy proportions also make it a good fit for editorial layouts and book-cover typography that needs a classic, authoritative presence.
The font projects a confident, editorial voice—classic in structure but energized by sharp, flaring details and crisp, angled terminals. Its tone feels formal and persuasive, with a hint of dramatic flair suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif foundation with more theatrical, sculpted finishing—using flared serifs and angled terminals to create impact without departing from familiar, readable letterforms.
Uppercase letters show broad shoulders and clear serif articulation, while the lowercase maintains sturdy stems and compact joins that keep the rhythm tight. Numerals appear weighty and display-forward, matching the capital strength and contrast.
