A display-oriented serif with strongly flared, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show sculpted joins and bracketed terminals, with rounded, sometimes teardrop-like endings that create a soft but forceful silhouette. Curves are full and weighty, counters are relatively compact, and capitals read as monumental, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with sturdy stems and energetic bowls.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short punchy statements where its sculpted contrast and wedge serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for logos, packaging, and branded pull quotes that benefit from a classic-but-bold serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, pairing a classical, bookish pedigree with a bold, poster-ready presence. It feels formal and premium, with enough ornament in the terminals and contrast to signal drama rather than neutrality.
Likely designed as a decorative display serif that borrows from traditional, high-contrast printing forms while exaggerating terminals and serifs for impact. The intention appears to be delivering a luxurious, editorial look with strong silhouette recognition at large sizes.
The numerals and capitals carry the most distinctive personality through their flared terminals and wedge serifs, giving headlines a carved, engraved feel. In dense settings the heavy joins and tight counters amplify texture, so it favors larger sizes where the interior spaces can breathe.
