A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Vertical stems are strong and steady while joins and stroke endings taper and swell, producing a rhythmic, slightly theatrical texture in text. Capitals feel stately with sharp apexes and crisp serifs; lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls and a two-storey a with a pronounced ear. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and display-oriented, with expressive curves and tapered stress.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine and newspaper-style typography, and book-cover titling where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a classic, premium voice, and for short passages or section openers where a more expressive serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is editorial and authoritative, with a refined, old-style seriousness amplified by dramatic contrast and flared endings. It reads as confident and stylish—suited to content that wants tradition with a bit of flair rather than a neutral, utilitarian voice.
Likely designed to evoke traditional serif authority while adding distinctive, flared stroke endings for extra personality and impact. The intent appears to balance classic proportions with a more sculptural, display-forward finish that stands out in larger sizes and editorial layouts.
In continuous setting the strong contrast and angular terminals create a lively sparkle, especially around letters with sharp diagonals and tapered arms. The face favors presence and character over invisibility, making spacing and line length feel important for comfortable reading at smaller sizes.
