A high-contrast serif with strongly sculpted, flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that taper into points. Vertical stems are weighty and steady while hairlines are thin and crisp, producing an emphatic light–dark rhythm. Capitals feel tall and formal with sharp apexes and clean, controlled curves; bowls are compact and counters are relatively tight. The lowercase shows a sturdy, traditional construction with a two-storey a, a compact e, and a single-storey g, with terminals that finish in small beaks and wedges rather than blunt cuts. Numerals match the text weight and contrast, with clear, classical shapes and pronounced seriffing.
Best suited to headlines, deck typography, and pull quotes where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It also fits editorial branding, book and magazine covers, and poster work that benefits from a classic, commanding serif voice.
The overall tone is stately and editorial, with a slightly theatrical edge created by the pronounced contrast and flared, knife-like details. It reads as traditional and authoritative, evoking bookish refinement and classic print typography while still feeling punchy at display sizes.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif presence with added drama through flared terminals and strong contrast, aiming for a refined display color that feels both traditional and attention-getting. The shapes prioritize a carved, print-like sharpness that supports authoritative, editorial messaging.
The design’s personality comes from its consistent flare into terminals and the sharpness of joins and serifs, which makes word shapes appear crisp and carved. Spacing in the sample text looks intentionally compact, reinforcing a dense, headline-friendly color on the page.
