This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, flared stroke endings. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with tapered terminals that give the outlines a slightly calligraphic, chiseled feel rather than a purely mechanical finish. Capitals are sturdy and wide-set, with strong vertical stems and crisp, triangular details; the bowls and counters are relatively compact, helping the heavy weight read cleanly. Lowercase forms keep a traditional, bookish structure, with distinct two-storey shapes where expected and tight, controlled apertures that maintain a dense rhythm in text.
It performs best in headlines, titles, and short blocks of text where its contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. Suitable applications include editorial layouts, book and magazine titling, cultural branding, and posters that need a traditional yet commanding serif voice.
The overall tone is classical and assertive, suggesting heritage publishing and institutional gravitas. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast add a touch of theatricality and sophistication, making it feel more ceremonial than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, authoritative serif with refined, flared detailing—combining classical proportions with sharper, more dramatic terminals to heighten impact in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the dense color and tapered details create a strong typographic presence, especially at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with emphatic diagonals and pointed terminals that visually align with the letterforms.
