A bold, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. The strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with sturdy verticals, tapered joins, and sharply defined serif edges that read cleanly at display sizes. Proportions are generously wide, with open counters and a steady, upright stance; curves (C, G, O, S) are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V, W, X) land in pointed, slightly flared tips. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact ascenders/descenders and a distinctly serifed rhythm, producing a dense, confident texture in text.
This face is well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, posters, and branding that benefits from a classic yet assertive serif voice. It also works for pull quotes or short blocks of text where a strong, traditional typographic presence is desired.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with a dramatic, headline-forward presence. Its flared details and strong contrast add a sense of ceremony and authority, evoking book typography, heritage branding, and formal editorial design.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with expressive flared finishing, delivering a premium, print-centric feel that remains crisp and legible at larger sizes. Its wide proportions and emphatic contrast suggest a focus on display use where impact and elegance are equally important.
Numerals are robust and display-oriented, with clear contrast and pronounced terminals that match the letterforms. In the sample text, the heavy weight and wide set create a powerful typographic color, making it especially impactful in titles and short passages where the serif detailing can be appreciated.
