A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read as wedge-like terminals rather than flat slabs. Stems are sturdy and vertical, while curves (C, G, O, Q) show sharp, tapered entry/exit points that create a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often triangular in feel, with pointed tips and subtle swelling where strokes meet. The lowercase has a relatively compact x-height with strong vertical stress, and the numerals follow the same bold, tapered logic with prominent thick strokes and sharp terminals.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where contrast and wedge terminals can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding and packaging that aims for a premium, classical feel, especially in short text runs or title treatments.
The overall tone is editorial and theatrical: confident, high-impact, and slightly ornate without becoming decorative. Its sharp wedges and strong contrast suggest luxury and tradition, with an assertive presence that feels suited to attention-grabbing typographic moments.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif authority with more sculptural, flared terminals for added drama and distinction. It prioritizes a strong, ink-rich texture and crisp silhouettes that stand out in display settings while retaining an unmistakably serif, print-forward character.
Spacing appears on the tight-to-moderate side in the sample text, which amplifies the dense, punchy color on the page. The design emphasizes angular terminals and flare over delicate hairline serifs, helping it hold up visually at larger text and display sizes where the sculpted details become a key part of the voice.
