A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and distinctly flared, bracketed serif endings that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Curves are generous and round, while joins and terminals sharpen into tapered points, creating a sculpted rhythm across the alphabet. Capitals are broad and steady with strong vertical stress; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and substantial bowls, with compact apertures that read dense at text sizes. Numerals follow the same confident, weighty construction, with crisp beaks and carefully controlled curves.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, and book-cover typography where its high-contrast, flared serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a dense, authoritative text color is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying authority and polish. Its dramatic contrast and chiseled serif treatment add a slightly theatrical, old-world refinement suited to headline-led typography.
The font appears designed to modernize a classical serif voice by combining wide proportions with sharply tapered, flared details. The intention seems to be delivering a strong, premium presence for display typography while retaining familiar, traditional letterforms.
The design leans on strong verticals and energetic diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y), which helps it stay lively despite its heavy color. Spacing appears comfortable in display settings, and the dark interior shapes give it a distinctive, assertive texture in paragraphs.
