A high-contrast serif with robust, slightly condensed-to-standard proportions and a steady upright stance. Stems show pronounced modulation and subtly flared, bracketed terminals that give strokes a sculpted, chiseled feel rather than blunt endings. Curves are full and smooth with tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e, while horizontals and serifs read crisp and confident. The lowercase has a moderate x-height with compact counters and a clear, traditional rhythm; the figures are sturdy and set with strong contrast and rounded forms.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where a bold, traditional serif presence is desired. It can also work for book covers and branding systems that want a classic voice with extra punch, especially when given sufficient size and spacing.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and refinement. Its sharp contrast and flared detailing add a touch of drama, making it feel formal and literary rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif through strong contrast and subtly flared stroke endings, creating a commanding texture for display and editorial use. It balances familiar serif construction with more sculptural terminals to increase impact and character.
At text sizes the dark color and compact apertures create a dense, high-impact texture, while at display sizes the flared terminals and contrast become the main personality cues. The sample paragraph shows a strong, even cadence with prominent capitals that read well in headline settings.
