A dark, display-leaning serif with sharp wedge-like, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are generous and sculpted, with occasional ball terminals and teardrop-like joins that create a chiseled, slightly calligraphic texture. Counters are compact and the color is dense, while stroke endings often taper to crisp points, giving the letterforms a carved, high-impact rhythm. Numerals and capitals read firmly and vertically, with angular joins and energetic diagonals that keep the heavy weight from feeling static.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial settings, and cover typography where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding and packaging, especially when you want a classic serif voice with heightened drama and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, combining traditional book-serif authority with a more expressive, attention-grabbing finish. It feels ceremonious and slightly vintage, suited to statements that need gravitas and presence rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with amplified contrast and sharpened detailing for display impact. Its forms prioritize striking silhouette and editorial authority, aiming for a refined but forceful presence in titles and prominent text.
The font’s strong contrast and pointed details create distinctive silhouettes at larger sizes, but also make spacing feel naturally tight and textures more assertive in paragraphs. The mix of sharp serifs and rounded terminals adds visual sparkle, especially in words with many curves and diagonals.
