A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted wedge-like serifs and sharply tapered joins that give strokes a chiseled, flared feel. The bowls are round and full, while many terminals finish in pointed or teardrop shapes, creating crisp punctuation at the ends of strokes. Curves and diagonals show strong modulation, and the overall rhythm alternates between thick, dominant stems and fine connecting hairlines. The lowercase keeps a compact, sturdy silhouette, with a single-storey a and g, pronounced ear/terminal details, and a sturdy, ball-like i/j dot. Numerals are weighty and stylized, with notably curvy forms (especially the 2, 3, and 9) and sharp serif accents that match the letters.
Well-suited for headlines, magazine covers, and pull quotes where strong contrast and distinctive serifs can carry the design. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a premium, heritage-leaning tone. For longer passages, it’s likely most effective at comfortable sizes and with generous spacing to preserve its sharp details.
The font conveys a classic, print-forward authority with a dramatic, poster-like presence. Its pointed terminals and high contrast add a sense of theatricality and luxury, while the robust weight keeps it confident and declarative. Overall it feels rooted in traditional editorial typography, but with a more sculptural, attention-grabbing edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and sculpted, flared endings that add drama and recognizability. It prioritizes strong silhouette and typographic color for display settings while retaining enough traditional structure to feel editorial and established.
In text, the strong contrast and energetic terminals create a lively texture that reads best at larger sizes, where the fine connections and sharp details can remain clear. The italic is not shown; the presented style maintains an upright, display-oriented voice with distinctive serif shapes that define the family’s character.
