A high-contrast serif with broad, weighty verticals and sharply tapered joins that flare into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and slightly splayed, giving an incised, carved impression rather than blunt slabs. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dark and concentrated, while curves show crisp modulation and pointed apexes on letters like A and V. The lowercase has sturdy, compact forms with single-storey a and g, a pronounced ear on g, and a short, sturdy t; figures are oldstyle-leaning in character, with strong contrast and distinctive curved spurs.
Best suited to headlines, editorial titling, book jackets, and branding where a strong, classic serif voice is desired. It can work for short passages and pull quotes, but its dark color and tight counters suggest more comfortable use at moderate-to-large sizes rather than very small UI text.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, with a bookish, editorial feel. Its flared endings and sharp modulation add a subtle historic or engraved character that reads formal and emphatic, especially at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, traditional serif presence with a flared, incised finish—combining classical proportions with dramatic contrast for impactful reading and display typography.
The rhythm is energetic due to the alternating thick and thin strokes and the angled, wedge-like terminals. In dense text it forms a strong typographic texture, while in display settings the dramatic stroke contrast and sculpted serifs become the primary visual feature.
