A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often feel subtly flared at terminals. The uppercase shows strong vertical stems with sharp, tapered joins and neatly bracketed corners, giving letters a chiseled, print-forward silhouette. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a broad-shouldered “m,” maintaining a steady rhythm while preserving lively modulation through thicks and thins. Numerals match the text weight with bold presence and distinctive shapes (notably the curved “2” and open, rounded “3”), designed to stand up at display sizes.
This style performs especially well in headlines, deck copy, and editorial layouts where strong contrast and decisive serifs help create hierarchy. It also suits book covers, cultural posters, and branding systems that want a classic serif voice with extra punch and a sculptural finish.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly theatrical contrast that reads as premium and authoritative. Its sharp serifs and carved-looking terminals evoke book typography and classical inscriptional cues, lending a serious, formal voice that still feels energetic in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading of authority and heritage, while emphasizing contrast and flared terminals for heightened impact in display typography. It balances classic proportions with sharpened details to produce a dense, confident texture in text and a commanding profile in titles.
Round letters like O/C/G show a clear contrast-driven construction with robust verticals and finer horizontals, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain weighty and stable rather than delicate. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text suggest a dense, impactful color on the page, optimized for strong typographic presence rather than airy lightness.
