This is a high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed, triangular wedge-like serifs and a noticeably sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Curves are broad and rounded, counters are generous, and the stroke joins create a carved, slightly flared feel rather than a purely geometric one. Capitals are stately and wide-set, with a prominent, sweeping Q tail and crisp terminals on letters like C, G, and S. The lowercase shows sturdy, rounded bowls and compact shoulders; the two-storey a and single-storey g read clearly, while numerals feature pronounced contrast and angled, serifed endings.
It performs best in display and editorial settings such as headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and promotional posters where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. In longer passages it can work when set with comfortable spacing and size, especially for pull quotes, section openers, and other high-impact text elements.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a dramatic, editorial weight that feels at home in established print culture. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the rounded bowls keep it from feeling brittle.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened contrast and presence, balancing classic proportions with sharper, more theatrical terminals for strong typographic emphasis.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm in text, with strong vertical emphasis and clear word shapes at larger sizes. Pointed serif tips and tapered terminals introduce a slightly historic, engraved flavor without becoming overly ornate.
