A dense, high-impact serif with sharply tapered, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. Strokes transition quickly from thick to thin, giving the letters a sculpted, chiselled feel, while counters are compact and the overall color on the page is dark and steady. Uppercase forms are broad and commanding with crisp terminals; lowercase shows sturdy bowls and tight apertures, with small but distinct details like the ear on the “g” and pointed, beak-like terminals. Numerals follow the same muscular contrast and wedge-like finishing, reading as strong and poster-ready.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and display typography where its contrast and flared finishing can be appreciated at size. It can work for editorial pull quotes, book covers, and bold brand marks that need a classic yet attention-grabbing tone, and it holds its own in short text passages where a strong typographic texture is desirable.
The design reads as editorial and classical, with a dramatic, almost engraved authority that feels formal without becoming delicate. Its sharp contrast and flared endings lend a sense of ceremony and punch, making it feel confident, headline-forward, and slightly theatrical.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver traditional serif authority with extra punch through sharp contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals. The goal seems to be a display serif that feels classic and refined, while projecting a forceful, contemporary presence in titles and branding.
Spacing and proportions support a compact rhythm in text, where heavy verticals and sharp terminals create a lively texture. The overall impression is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with recurring wedge and beak motifs that reinforce a unified voice.
