A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a sturdy, expansive footprint. The serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with wedge-like terminals and crisp joins that create strong vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively compact against the heavy stems, while the rounded letters (like O and Q) show taut curves and clear thick-to-thin transitions. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, with prominent ear and terminal shapes; overall spacing reads open but with a dense, ink-rich color at text sizes.
Best suited to large sizes where its contrast, bracketing, and sharp terminals can read clearly—magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and premium brand or packaging work. It can also serve for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a bold, traditional serif voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and upscale, combining traditional bookish cues with a theatrical, headline-ready presence. It feels formal and authoritative, with enough ornament in the terminals and contrast to add drama without tipping into overt display novelty.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation while amplifying impact through bold massing, crisp high-contrast drawing, and expressive terminal details. It aims to project authority and refinement, functioning as a statement serif for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
Capital forms look stable and slightly monumental, with a noticeable diagonal bite in letters like W and V. Numerals appear sturdy and classic, matching the strong verticals and high-contrast modulation seen across the alphabet.
