A high-contrast serif with pronounced flare at stroke terminals and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms combine narrow joins with swelling verticals, producing a sculpted, ink-trap-free silhouette that reads as both sharp and weighty. Counters are compact and often oval, with lively, slightly calligraphic curves in letters like a, g, and y. The overall rhythm is vertical and steady, with sturdy capitals and a relatively large x-height that keeps lowercase forms prominent in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where high contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a classic, authoritative feel with a distinctive twist, and for titling where strong capitals carry the composition.
The tone is assertive and theatrical, mixing traditional bookish manners with a bold, poster-ready presence. Its crisp serifs and dramatic thick–thin transitions lend a sense of authority and polish, while the flared terminals add a distinctive, crafted personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra presence: a display-forward modulation and flared finishing that adds visual signature without abandoning conventional serif structure. It prioritizes impact and refined contrast over neutrality, aiming to feel premium and confidently traditional.
Several capitals show strong internal modulation and angular serif shaping that emphasizes vertical stress. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and substantial, with classic proportions that suit display sizes and short runs of text where character is desirable.
