A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast and sturdy, slightly tapered stems that swell into flared, bracketed endings. Serifs read as sharp wedges with smooth transitions, giving the letterforms a carved, chiseled feel rather than a purely mechanical construction. Counters are generously open and bowls are round and weighty, while joins and terminals stay crisp, creating a strong black footprint and a steady, traditional rhythm across text.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and wedge-like serifs can read clearly—magazine headlines, book cover titling, posters, and identity work needing a traditional but energetic serif. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a dense, authoritative texture is desired.
The tone is classic and assertive, blending old-style gravitas with a more theatrical, headline-ready presence. Its crisp wedges and bold massing suggest authority and heritage, while the flared strokes add a touch of drama suited to attention-getting typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added visual bite through flared, bracketed terminals and strong contrast, producing an impactful texture for prominent typography while retaining familiar, readable proportions.
Uppercase forms show confident proportions and clear, high-contrast modeling, with diagonals and joins staying clean at display sizes. Numerals appear similarly weighty and formal, matching the serif language and maintaining a consistent, editorial texture.
