A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, flared stroke endings that give many terminals a chiseled, slightly calligraphic finish. The capitals are wide-shouldered and stately, with sharp apexes and strong vertical stress; bowls and counters are compact, creating a dense, dark page color. Serifs feel bracketed and tapered rather than flat, and curves transition into stems with a distinct swelling that reinforces the flared character. Spacing appears moderately tight in text, with clear rhythm and sturdy verticals that keep lines cohesive at display and short-text sizes.
This face suits magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book-cover titling, and any editorial typography that benefits from a strong, dark texture. It also fits branding where a classic, authoritative voice is desired, especially in larger sizes where the flared terminals and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, combining a classical bookish presence with a slightly theatrical, headline-ready punch. Its high contrast and sculpted terminals read as confident and refined, evoking heritage publishing, institutional gravitas, and dramatic storytelling.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added visual energy through flared terminals and sculpted joins, producing a robust, display-friendly texture. It balances a familiar editorial structure with distinctive terminal shaping to stand out in headlines and prominent titles.
The lowercase shows lively curvature and distinctive terminals—particularly in letters like a, g, and s—adding personality without becoming ornate. Numerals share the same contrast and weight, presenting as compact and emphatic for titling and pull-quote settings.
