A high-contrast serif with strongly tapered, flaring stems that broaden into wedge-like serif terminals. The letterforms show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with crisp joins, tight interior counters, and compact, sturdy proportions that read confidently at display sizes. Curves (O, C, G) are smooth and weighty, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) cut sharply with pointed terminals. Lowercase forms are slightly compact with firm shoulders and wedge serifs, and the numerals carry the same sculpted contrast and angled feet for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, and editorial pull quotes where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and packaging that want a premium, traditional voice, and for posters or book covers needing an authoritative, classic display serif.
The overall tone is classic and stately, with a theatrical edge from the sharp terminals and strong contrast. It evokes editorial gravitas and old-world refinement while still feeling punchy and assertive in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, traditional serif voice with added sharpness and momentum from flared terminals and strong thick–thin modulation. It prioritizes impact and character over neutrality, aiming for a sculpted, print-forward texture in display typography.
Stroke endings consistently flare rather than finish with flat slabs, giving the face a carved, chiseled texture. Spacing appears moderately tight in the sample text, producing a dense, high-impact color on the page that emphasizes vertical rhythm and contrast.
