A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sturdy verticals that broaden into subtly flared, bracketed terminals. The serifs read sharp yet controlled, with wedge-like feet and tapered stroke endings that give the letterforms a chiseled, engraved feel. Counters are compact and the rhythm is firmly vertical, while curves in letters like C, G, S, and the numerals show smooth, calligraphic stress. Lowercase forms are robust and slightly condensed in color, with a strong baseline presence and clear differentiation between round and straight-sided shapes.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated, such as magazine titles, book covers, posters, and heritage-leaning branding. It can also work for short bursts of text—pull quotes, section openers, or titling—where a strong, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a polished, print-forward seriousness. Its dramatic contrast and crisp terminals add a touch of ceremony and gravitas, suggesting established institutions, heritage branding, and high-end editorial settings rather than casual or utilitarian UI use.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical serif voice with added energy from flared terminals and pronounced contrast, combining traditional proportions with a more sculptural, attention-grabbing finish for impactful typography.
In text, the dense strokes create a dark, emphatic texture, especially at larger sizes where the flared stroke endings and sharp joins become a defining character feature. The numerals are equally bold and classical, pairing well with the capitals for display lines and headings.
