A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, hairline-like horizontals, and pronounced flared/bracketed serif shaping that widens into tapered stroke endings. The letterforms are compact and tightly drawn, with narrow apertures and crisp interior counters that create a dense, authoritative texture in text. Terminals often resolve into pointed wedges or teardrop/ball-like forms (notably in lowercase), and the overall construction shows a strong vertical stress with sharp, clean joins and a deliberate, display-forward rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where the sharp contrast and flared serif details can be appreciated—magazine headlines, section openers, posters, and book-cover titling. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic, premium tone with a bit of dramatic punch, especially when used with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The font reads as formal and editorial, combining refinement with a slightly theatrical edge created by the sharp flares and emphatic contrast. It conveys tradition and seriousness while still feeling energetic and attention-grabbing in headlines.
The design appears intended as a modernized, high-impact serif for display and editorial settings, using strong vertical structure and expressive flared endings to deliver a classic yet assertive voice.
Capital forms feel monumental and weighty, while the lowercase introduces more personality through rounder bowls and distinctive terminal treatments. Numerals are bold and sculpted, with clear contrast and a traditional, print-oriented presence that pairs well with the typeface’s crisp serif logic.
