A heavy, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and a strongly sculpted, calligraphic construction. Serifs are wedge-like and often flared, with noticeable bracketing that softens joins into the stems. Curves show pronounced swelling and tapering, producing a rhythmic thick–thin pattern across rounds and diagonals. Several letters use teardrop/ball terminals and slightly sheared stroke endings, giving the design a chiseled, display-forward texture while keeping overall alignment upright and steady.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other large-size applications where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for branding, packaging, and titling that benefits from a classic, press-like presence; for long passages, it will be most comfortable at larger text sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is emphatic and classic, with a distinctly vintage editorial character. Its strong contrast and decorative terminals lend drama and a sense of tradition, suggesting printed headlines and formal announcements rather than neutral UI typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened drama—combining editorial familiarity with expressive wedge serifs and terminal details to create strong visual impact in display settings.
Counters are relatively compact for the weight, and the numerals and capitals read especially stout and confident. The lowercase carries much of the personality through distinctive terminals and asymmetric details, which adds texture in short phrases but can feel busy at smaller sizes.
