A very heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that read almost wedge-like in places. Stems are broad and dark, while joins and internal transitions tighten sharply, producing crisp hairline-like counters and a carved, chiseled feel. Proportions lean classical with generous capitals and sturdy, compact lowercase; round letters are full and weighty, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) carry strong, tapering terminals. The overall rhythm is assertive and compact, optimized for impact rather than delicate text color at small sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, title pages, and large-format editorial typography where its heavy color and sculpted details can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and brand marks that want a traditional, premium voice, while longer body copy would benefit from larger sizes and comfortable leading.
The tone is formal and commanding, with an old-world editorial and bookish flavor. Its strong contrast and flared terminals add a sense of ceremony and prestige, making the voice feel confident, established, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif authority with added drama through flared terminals and strong contrast, balancing traditional proportions with a distinctly display-weight presence. It emphasizes impact, hierarchy, and a refined, heritage-leaning character for prominent typographic moments.
The numerals are bold and display-forward, matching the capitals in weight and presence. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, which boosts density and contrast in running lines and makes spacing feel intentionally compact and headline-oriented.
