A sculpted serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and noticeably bracketed joins that give stems a subtly flared, carved feel. Stroke contrast is strong, with thick main strokes and thin connecting hairlines, and the serifs resolve into pointed, triangular endings rather than blunt slabs. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is compact and weighty, producing dense word shapes that hold together well at display sizes. The lowercase shows sturdy, traditional proportions with single-storey a and g, and the numerals are robust with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp terminals.
Best suited to headlines, covers, and editorial titling where its dense color and crisp serifs can deliver impact. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic foundation with a sharper, more dramatic edge, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The face reads as confident and commanding, with an old-style gravitas pushed toward a more theatrical, high-impact tone. Its sharp terminals and dark color give it a slightly ceremonial, poster-like presence while still feeling rooted in classical book typography.
Likely designed to translate traditional serif authority into a more emphatic, display-ready voice by combining strong contrast with pointed, flared terminals and compact spacing. The goal appears to be clear, confident reading in prominent settings while retaining a recognizable classical structure.
Diagonal strokes and apexes (notably in A, V, W, and Y) end in pronounced wedges, reinforcing a chiseled texture across lines. Round letters (C, O, Q) keep firm, controlled curves, and the overall spacing favors a solid, headline-friendly block of text rather than airy refinement.
