A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flared stroke endings that read like softened wedges rather than flat slabs. Serifs are bracketed and often splayed, giving terminals a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Counters are generous for the weight, with rounded bowls and a steady, upright axis; curves transition into stems with noticeable tension and smooth joins. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase shows compact, weighty shapes with clear two-storey a and single-storey g, and a strong, wedge-footed rhythm across stems and diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated without overcrowding. It works well for magazine and editorial branding, book covers, cultural posters, and identity work that benefits from a classic-yet-assertive serif voice.
The overall tone is editorial and authoritative, combining classical bookish cues with a more theatrical, display-forward presence. Its high contrast and flared finishing create a sense of drama and polish that feels formal and confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened contrast and flared terminals for extra impact, producing a distinctive, carved texture that stands out in display and editorial contexts while remaining structurally familiar.
In text, the heavy color and pronounced terminals create a strong typographic texture, with punctuation and numerals matching the same carved, weighty logic. The numerals are bold and rounded, suited to prominent settings where figure clarity and impact matter.
