A compact, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. Vertical stems are sturdy while hairlines stay fine, creating sharp light–dark modulation across rounds and diagonals. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, with crisp terminals and tight counters; the lowercase carries a traditional, bookish rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders and sturdy joins. Numerals echo the same contrast and flare, giving figures a punchy, editorial presence.
Well-suited to headlines and large-size editorial typography where high contrast and sculpted serifs can show clearly. It works especially well for magazine covers, book and chapter titles, poster typography, and short, emphatic statements where a classic, premium voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a dramatic, print-forward contrast that reads as premium and formal. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs add a sense of tradition and seriousness, while the bold presence keeps it attention-grabbing in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and distinctive flared finishing, combining readability of familiar letterforms with extra drama for display impact.
Spacing appears relatively tight at large sizes, producing strong word shapes and dense color. The flared terminals and bracketed serifs give curves and diagonals a slightly calligraphic finish, helping the design feel carved and deliberate rather than purely mechanical.
