A bold, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and substantial, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are predominantly wedge-like and flared, often with a subtle bracketed transition that gives terminals a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and generous, with crisp joining behavior in letters like B, R, and S, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel chiseled and slightly angular. Lowercase forms show compact bowls and pronounced entry/exit strokes, with a single-storey g and a lively, sweeping tail on y; figures are similarly stylized, with teardrop-like terminals and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short passages where its high contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It works especially well for book covers, magazine/editorial layouts, cultural posters, and branding that aims for a classic-but-distinctive voice. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes or in more generous layouts due to its dark color and sharp hairlines.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical: traditional enough to read as classic, but with enough sculptural contrast and flared details to feel distinctive and decorative. It conveys a sense of prestige and gravity, leaning toward bookish, editorial sophistication rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif principles with more decorative, flared terminals and a carved, expressive finish. Its consistent, dramatic stroke modulation suggests a focus on creating an elevated display face that reads as traditional while standing apart through distinctive serif shaping and energetic lowercase forms.
Round letters (O, C, G) show notable contrast and a refined stress that reinforces a formal, print-like rhythm. Spacing in the sample text reads dense and impactful, producing a dark, authoritative texture well-suited to display sizes. The numerals share the same dramatic terminal language, keeping titles and headlines stylistically consistent when mixing text and figures.
