A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Serifs are sharply cut and often beaked, with bracketing that feels carved rather than mechanical. Capitals are broad and authoritative with crisp joins; the lowercase shows compact, dark shapes and a slightly calligraphic stress, keeping counters tight and rhythm punchy. Figures follow the same engraved logic, with strong verticals and tapered, flaring ends that help the numerals hold up at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where its contrast and flared finishing can read as intentional style. It can also work for short editorial passages or titling on book covers and premium packaging, where a dark, classic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and commanding, evoking editorial gravity and a bookish, institutional polish. Its sharp terminals and dramatic contrast add a hint of theatricality, making it feel more like a headline face than a quiet text workhorse.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional serif and inscriptional cues—using flared, beaked endings and strong contrast to create a confident, display-forward voice that still feels rooted in classic print typography.
Spacing appears moderately open for a dense, heavy serif, helping the strong contrast avoid clogging in the sample text. The design maintains consistent flare behavior across curves and straights, producing a cohesive, chiselled texture in lines of copy.
