A confident serif with broad proportions, strong thick–thin modulation, and sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs that often flare from the stems. The drawing favors smooth, sculpted curves and decisive terminals, producing a crisp silhouette and pronounced vertical rhythm. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Counters are generally open, and the overall texture reads dark and emphatic at text and display sizes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine and newspaper features, book covers, and poster-style typography where a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast can add impact. It can also work for short-form body copy in spacious layouts, especially when paired with generous leading and careful tracking to keep the texture from feeling overly heavy.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a slightly theatrical edge created by the dramatic contrast and pointed finishing. It suggests heritage publishing and headline typography where gravitas and presence are desired, while still feeling rooted in conventional book-serifs rather than ornamental lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, classical serif structure with extra visual drama through strong contrast and flared, wedge-like serifs. It prioritizes presence and elegance in prominent text while maintaining conventional letterforms for broad typographic usefulness.
Several letters show subtle calligraphic influence in the way strokes swell and taper into sharp joins, and the numerals carry the same flared, chiseled finish for a cohesive set. In dense settings the weight and width create a strong typographic color, so spacing and size will play a noticeable role in perceived readability.
