A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals that read as flared serifs. The letterforms are compact and sturdy, with relatively narrow internal apertures and crisp joins that create a carved, chiseled impression. Curves are full and smooth, while many stroke endings resolve into triangular points or subtly bracketed wedges, giving the outlines a distinctly sculptural rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and weighty; lowercase shows a moderate x-height with robust bowls and a strong, dark texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, and other prominent editorial applications where its contrast and pointed terminals can provide character and hierarchy. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when generous size and spacing are available, and it is well aligned with branding for institutions or products aiming for a classic, premium voice.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting confidence and tradition with an extra edge of drama from the sharp terminals and strong contrast. It feels serious and cultivated, with a hint of theatrical flair suitable for emphatic messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif silhouette with a modern, sharpened finish—using flared, wedge-like terminals and strong contrast to create a distinctive, authoritative presence in display and editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the dense color and pointed terminals create strong word shapes and high impact at display sizes. The numerals follow the same contrast and wedge-terminal logic, reading crisp and assertive alongside the capitals.
