A high-contrast serif with prominent, bracketed wedge serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the stems a sculpted, chiseled feel. The capitals are broad and stately with crisp triangular terminals, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and occasional ball-like terminals that add softness to the otherwise sharp rhythm. Curves transition cleanly into thick verticals, and the overall color is strong and dark in text, with clear thick–thin modulation across diagonals and joins. Figures appear lining with pronounced contrast and firm, classical proportions.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and editorial titling, book covers, and premium brand identities where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also work for short pull quotes and section openers, especially when set with generous leading to showcase the contrast and serif shapes.
The tone is formal and editorial, combining traditional bookish authority with a slightly theatrical, display-ready punch. Its sharp serifs and high contrast read as refined and historic, while the flared detailing adds a crafted, boutique sensibility suited to elevated branding.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif conventions with a more expressive, flared finishing, creating a confident display face that still feels rooted in traditional typography. Its strong verticals, crisp serifs, and carefully shaped terminals prioritize impact and elegance in larger text sizes.
The sample text suggests the design holds up well at large sizes, where the tapered joins, wedge terminals, and ball details become part of the personality. Spacing feels deliberately open for a bold serif, supporting clear word shapes and a steady reading rhythm in headline settings.
