A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctly sculpted, flared treatment at terminals and serifs. Vertical stems feel sturdy and steady, while curves show a crisp thick-to-thin modulation that creates strong typographic color in text. Serifs read as wedge-like and softly bracketed rather than mechanical, and many joins and ends taper into pointed, calligraphic-looking shapes. Proportions are fairly traditional, with moderate counters and a slightly condensed sense in some capitals, giving the alphabet a compact, weighty rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display sizes where its sharp tapers and flared finishing details can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial identity systems and book-cover typography that needs a traditional, authoritative voice with extra drama and presence.
The overall tone is formal and assertive, with a classic bookish character that also feels theatrical due to the sharp tapers and bold presence. It suggests heritage and gravitas, leaning toward an editorial voice that can feel both refined and forceful.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a more expressive, flared terminal treatment, producing a strong display serif that reads as both traditional and attention-getting. Its contrast and sculpted endings aim to add energy and distinction without abandoning familiar, readable forms.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and high contrast create strong emphasis and punch, especially in capitals and round letters, where the thick outer strokes and sharp internal tapers become highly visible. Numerals appear sturdy and print-oriented, matching the letterforms’ sculpted terminals and maintaining the same confident, traditional texture.
