A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and pronounced bracketed joins. The capitals are wide and stable with strong vertical stress, while bowls and counters are generous and clean, giving the heavy weight room to breathe. Serifs read as tapered wedges rather than flat slabs, and many letters show subtle swelling where stems meet terminals, creating a carved, slightly calligraphic texture. The lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with moderate x-height, sturdy stems, and lively, rounded details (notably in a, g, s), producing a robust page color at text sizes and a striking silhouette at display sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, magazine and editorial typography, and book-cover titling where a strong, classic serif voice is needed. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, and branding or packaging that benefits from a crafted, traditional look with heightened contrast and presence.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining traditional bookish seriousness with a theatrical, punchy contrast. Its flared terminals and sculpted joins add a hint of vintage charm and craft, making the voice feel confident, refined, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif model by emphasizing sculpted flare and dramatic contrast, delivering impact without losing familiar proportions. It aims for a confident, literary feel that reads as premium and authoritative in prominent settings.
Spacing appears balanced for set text, with a consistent, weighty rhythm and clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals are bold and compact with strong contrast and tapered finishing strokes that match the serif language.
