A bold, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and pronounced bracketed serifs that often end in pointed, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms are wide and sturdy, with rounded bowls that swell noticeably against hairline joins, creating a strong dark mass on the page. Capitals feel monumental and carved, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height, crisp shoulders, and distinct, angular entry/exit strokes on forms like a, e, and r. Numerals and punctuation follow the same chiseled, calligraphic logic, maintaining a consistent, formal texture across text and titling sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine features, and other editorial display contexts where a strong, classical voice is desired. It can work well for book covers, cultural branding, and posters that benefit from a traditional serif with dramatic contrast and pronounced, sculpted terminals.
The overall tone is formal and emphatic, combining classical bookish cues with a theatrical, headline-ready weight and contrast. It reads as authoritative and ceremonial, suggesting tradition, prestige, and editorial seriousness rather than casual neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading of authority and refinement, amplified with wide proportions and heightened contrast for display impact. It aims for a carved, engraved feel—balancing classic structure with sharper, more theatrical detailing.
In sample text it produces a dense, high-impact color, with fine internal hairlines and sharp terminals that add sparkle and tension. The wide proportions and strong serifs make it especially distinctive in larger sizes, while the heavy strokes can dominate in tight settings.
