A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically uniform. Stems are strong and vertical, while hairlines and joins stay taut and clean, producing crisp counters and sharp internal shapes. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are smoothly drawn with a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation, and the lowercase shows compact bowls and clear, sturdy arches with a prominent two-storey g and a sharp-shouldered r. Figures appear lining and robust, matching the weighty text color and giving the design a confident, print-oriented rhythm.
It suits magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book and report titling, and brand identities that need a classic, upscale presence. The weight and contrast also work well for packaging or poster typography where strong form and elegant detail are meant to be seen.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a refined, traditional voice that reads as premium and institutional. Its strong contrast and flared finishing details add drama and sophistication, suggesting heritage, ceremony, and authority rather than casual friendliness.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern take on traditional serif forms, pairing authoritative proportions with flared, sculptural finishing to create impact in display and editorial settings. It aims for a premium, trustworthy voice while keeping letterforms crisp and highly legible at headline sizes.
The design holds a consistent, dark typographic color and a deliberate cadence, with capitals that feel stately and slightly monumental. In text, the crisp hairlines and pronounced terminals create lively sparkle at larger sizes while maintaining a dignified, composed texture.
