A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and flared terminals that widen into the endings, giving stems a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with crisp entry/exit strokes and compact, controlled counters. The capitals read wide and stately with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure (double-storey a and g) and a restrained, upright rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and open, matching the overall contrast and flare for consistent texture in running settings.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the contrast and flared endings can read clearly and add character. It also fits book and magazine applications—especially covers and section openers—and premium branding where a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The design projects an editorial, heritage tone—confident and formal with a sense of ceremony. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted details add elegance and tension, making text feel curated and premium rather than neutral.
Likely drawn to blend traditional serif proportions with more sculptural, flared stroke endings, creating a classic framework that feels more assertive and stylized in use. The emphasis appears to be on dramatic readability and a distinctive editorial color in display and prominent text.
At display sizes the flaring and sharp joins become a defining feature, creating bright, pointed highlights and strong silhouette contrast. In dense paragraphs the heavy verticals and tight internal spaces produce a dark, emphatic color that favors generous leading and comfortable measure.
