A high-contrast serif with broad, steady proportions and crisp, flared terminals that widen subtly at stroke endings. Vertical strokes read strong and dark, while hairlines and inner joins taper cleanly, creating lively rhythm in text. Serifs appear wedge-like and sculpted rather than blunt, and the overall drawing feels tightly controlled with pronounced, energetic curves in round letters and a firm, upright stance.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography, especially for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and sharp terminals can shine. It can also support branding for institutions, publishers, luxury or heritage-leaning products, and packaging where a classic but assertive serif is desired. In text settings it works best for shorter editorial blocks where its dark color and contrast contribute to a strong typographic voice.
This typeface projects a confident, editorial tone with a classical, slightly dramatic voice. Its sharp finishing details and strong contrast give it a sense of authority and refinement, while the open proportions keep it from feeling overly delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with added visual energy from flared stroke endings and strong contrast. It aims for impact at larger sizes while retaining enough structure and openness to remain readable in short passages of text.
The figures appear to follow the same high-contrast logic as the letters, with clear, open counters and decisive terminals. The overall color is relatively dark, with emphasized verticals and noticeable modulation that gives lines of text a punchy, crafted texture.
