A sculpted serif with prominent wedge-like, flaring terminals and strongly bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Contrast is pronounced, with thick verticals and finer connecting strokes, and the overall letterforms are broad with open counters and a steady, upright stance. Serifs tend toward triangular, tapering shapes rather than flat slabs, producing energetic corners on forms like E, F, T, V, W, and X. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a sturdy, slightly rounded rhythm that remains crisp at the terminals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, and display settings where its flared terminals and high-contrast construction can be appreciated. It can also support branding and packaging that benefit from a classic yet bold, attention-forward serif voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone reads authoritative and editorial, blending old-style warmth with a more theatrical, headline-ready punch. Its flared endings and sharp serifs add a sense of ceremony and tradition, while the wide proportions keep it assertive and contemporary in impact.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional serif typography through pronounced flaring and crisp, wedge-like finishing, creating a strong display presence without abandoning classic proportions. It prioritizes distinctive texture and impact, aiming for an expressive editorial voice that remains structured and legible.
In text, the heavy color and distinctive terminal shapes create strong word silhouettes, with noticeable emphasis on diagonals and entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear weighty and display-oriented, matching the letterforms’ sculpted contrast and flared finishing.
