A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced wedge-like serifs. Vertical strokes read as robust and steady while hairlines taper sharply into crisp terminals, creating a strongly modulated rhythm. The letterforms are compact and tightly drawn with small counters in places, and many joins and stroke endings show a slightly calligraphic, chiseled handling rather than purely geometric construction. Numerals and capitals carry a stately, engraved feel, with distinctive curves and tapered beaks that add bite at display sizes.
This face is well-suited to headlines, cover lines, and pull quotes where contrast and sculpted terminals can read cleanly. It also fits book jackets, posters, and premium branding that wants a classic serif voice with extra drama. For body text, it will perform best in larger sizes or with spacing adjustments to keep counters and joins from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a dramatic, print-forward presence. Its sharp contrast and flared details give it a slightly theatrical, old-world sophistication suited to bold statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with flared, chiseled stroke endings to create a bold, display-oriented texture. It prioritizes strong typographic color, crisp tapering, and a distinctive editorial character over minimalism.
In longer samples the dense color and tight internal space make the texture feel weighty and emphatic; it benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing when set in paragraphs. The flared terminals and wedge serifs remain a defining signature across both uppercase and lowercase, helping headings feel cohesive and intentional.
