A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, hairline connections, and pronounced flared/bracketed terminals that widen into sharp, wedge-like endings. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with tight interior counters and a strong black-and-white rhythm in text. Uppercase proportions feel slightly condensed and monumental, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with clear ascenders and descenders and a distinctly serifed, calligraphic construction. Numerals are bold and sculpted, matching the typeface’s sharp terminals and dramatic stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display typography where contrast and crisp terminals can carry the design. It also fits book covers and editorial packaging that want a classic, authoritative serif with extra punch, and can work in short to medium text when ample size and leading are available.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining a traditional, bookish authority with a slightly dramatic, display-forward presence. It reads as classic and institutional, with a confident, formal voice suited to high-impact headlines and premium editorial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and distinctive flared terminals, creating a strong, carved silhouette that stands out in editorial and branding contexts. It prioritizes impact and typographic character while maintaining familiar serif proportions and readable forms.
The sharp, flared finishing on many strokes creates a chiseled, engraved effect, especially visible in letters like A, V, W, and Y. In text, the heavy serifs and compact counters increase density, emphasizing contrast and structure over airiness.
