A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly sculpted, flared finish where strokes meet terminals and serifs. The letterforms show sturdy vertical stress, sharp wedge-like details, and tight, well-defined counters that keep the silhouettes crisp at display sizes. Proportions lean slightly condensed in many capitals, while lowercase forms feel compact with firm shoulders and compact bowls; numerals are similarly assertive with clear, traditional shapes.
Best suited to headlines and large text where the contrast, flared terminals, and sharp serif shaping can be appreciated. It fits editorial layouts, book and magazine covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that want a classical, authoritative feel.
The overall tone is dignified and editorial, with a classical, bookish voice that reads as confident and slightly dramatic. The strong contrast and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and polish, suggesting tradition and authority rather than casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, traditional serif voice with added drama through strong contrast and flared stroke endings. Its compact rhythm and crisp terminals suggest a focus on impactful display typography that still feels rooted in classical letterform conventions.
