A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with broad verticals, tapered joins, and generous counters that keep the texture open despite the heavy color. Serifs are sharply defined and often slightly bracketed, while curves show crisp transitions into stems, giving the overall rhythm a chiseled, display-oriented presence.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine mastheads, and other editorial display settings where strong contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for book covers, cultural posters, and heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a confident, classical voice.
The font conveys a traditional, authoritative tone with a confident, slightly theatrical punch. Its strong contrast and carved details evoke editorial gravitas and a classic bookish sensibility, while the bold silhouette lends it a commanding, headline-ready voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif flavor with heightened impact: a bold, high-contrast construction paired with flared endings to create a carved, premium texture. It balances traditional detail with a dense, attention-grabbing silhouette for display typography.
Round letters show prominent thickened stems and tapered terminals that emphasize a flared, engraved feel. The lowercase includes several ball terminals (notably on forms like the double-storey a and g), adding a touch of old-style warmth to an otherwise assertive, modern display weight. Numerals share the same high-contrast construction and read clearly at large sizes.
