A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine hairlines, paired with flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into sharp wedge-like endings. The rhythm is strongly vertical and robust, with crisp joins and tapered strokes that feel slightly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Uppercase forms are stately and compact, while lowercase shows distinctive wedge-topped ascenders and a firm, dark color in text. Numerals are sturdy and emphatic, matching the heavy vertical stress and energetic terminals.
This design is well suited to headlines and display settings where its sharp flares and strong vertical stress can read clearly and add character. It also fits editorial typography such as magazine titles, book covers, and section openers, where a dark, authoritative voice is desirable.
The overall tone is editorial and assertive, balancing traditional bookish familiarity with a more dramatic, carved quality. Its sharp flares and tight, dark texture convey seriousness and confidence, lending a sense of heritage and formality without feeling overly delicate.
The type appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by emphasizing flared terminals and sculpted contrast, delivering a commanding texture for prominent text. Its consistent, chiseled stroke endings suggest a focus on impactful reading at larger sizes while retaining enough structure for short editorial passages.
In paragraphs the face produces a dense, high-impact texture, especially where vertical stems repeat, so spacing and line length will influence perceived heaviness. The flared terminals add motion at word ends and along baselines, giving headlines a distinctive bite and presence.
