A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis, sharp triangular/bracketed serifs, and flared stroke endings that give many joins a carved, inked look. Stems are sturdy and dark while hairlines stay crisp, producing clear thick–thin modulation across both roman caps and lowercase. Curves are generously rounded but finish in decisive terminals—often with small beaks and occasional ball terminals—creating a lively rhythm in words. Proportions feel traditional with moderate x-height, compact counters in some letters, and assertive diagonals (notably in V/W/Y) that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and flared finishing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, section openers, book and album covers, posters, and brand marks that want a classic serif voice with extra bite. It can also work for short-form text such as pull quotes or packaging copy when ample size and leading are available.
The font conveys an editorial, old-style authority with a dramatic, print-forward presence. Its flared details and sharp serifs add a slightly historic, engraved tone, while the bold color on the page gives it confidence and impact for headlines.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with more expressive flared terminals, delivering a classic reading of roman letterforms while increasing visual drama and punch for contemporary editorial and branding use.
Uppercase forms feel dignified and slightly condensed in impression due to tall verticals and tight interior spaces, while the lowercase maintains readable, bookish shapes with distinctive terminal treatments. Numerals appear weighty and traditional, with strong contrast and clear differentiation suitable for prominent settings.
