A strongly weighted serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and pronounced modulation. Stems show subtle flare and tapered joins, paired with bracketed serifs that end in sharp, wedge-like points. Curves exhibit a vertical stress and rounded bowls with tight apertures, while details like ball terminals (notably on forms such as the lowercase "a") add a slightly ornamental finish. The overall rhythm is compact and steady, with sturdy capitals and lively lowercase that keeps counters open enough for display use while maintaining a dense, ink-rich color.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text in editorial contexts where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It works well for book and magazine titling, poster typography, cultural branding, and pull quotes, especially at display sizes where the flared stems and pointed serifs contribute to a strong, classic impact.
The tone reads formal and editorial, with a confident, old-world seriousness. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast give it a theatrical, headline-driven presence, suggesting tradition, authority, and a touch of flourish rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and sharpened finishing details for strong display presence. By combining flared stem behavior with bracketed, pointed serifs and occasional ball terminals, it aims to feel both literary and emphatic—ideal for titles that need gravitas and style.
The uppercase set feels particularly monumental and symmetric, while the lowercase introduces more personality through terminal shapes and slightly varied curve tension. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and sturdy, designed to hold up at larger sizes where the pointed serifs and modulation become part of the voice.
