A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and pronounced wedge-like terminals. Thick verticals pair with fine hairlines to create a crisp, energetic rhythm, while the serifs read as bracketed and tapered rather than blocky. Uppercase forms feel stately and wide-shouldered with sharp entry/exit cuts, and lowercase shows traditional proportions with compact counters and lively curves. Numerals are bold and sharply modeled, matching the angular, chiseled terminal treatment seen across the alphabet.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and book-cover typography where contrast and sculpted terminals can carry personality. It can also serve for branding and packaging that needs a classic, premium voice, and for posters or pull quotes where bold serif impact is desired.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a dramatic, editorial snap created by the strong contrast and crisp terminals. It evokes a refined, print-forward sensibility—confident and slightly theatrical—without feeling ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to combine traditional serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared-terminal finish, aiming for strong typographic color and a distinctive editorial presence. The consistent modeling across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an intention toward cohesive display-to-text use in refined print or brand contexts.
The design relies on pointed, flared terminals and tight hairlines for character, which gives it strong presence at display sizes. In text settings, the dense black shapes and sharp joins produce a punchy texture and clear hierarchy, especially in capitals and figures.
