A bold, display-leaning serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are wide and open, with broad rounds (notably in C/O/Q) and sturdy vertical stems that taper into sharp, chiseled terminals. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins and serifs stay crisp, creating a sculptural, engraved feel. The lowercase maintains a conventional structure with a relatively steady x-height and compact apertures, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, flared-serif rhythm for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short passages where strong contrast and wide proportions can be appreciated. It works well for magazine/editorial layouts, premium branding, and poster-style typography that benefits from a classic yet assertive serif voice.
The overall tone is formal and commanding, with a polished, editorial confidence. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast add a sense of luxury and ceremony, reading as classic and headline-forward rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with amplified contrast and width for high-impact display use. Its consistent sculpted terminals and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on elegance and authority while preserving familiar, readable forms.
In text lines, the wide proportions and heavy weight create a strong horizontal presence and a dark typographic color. The high-contrast strokes and sharp terminals give it a refined, slightly theatrical edge that emphasizes shapes and word silhouettes.
