A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared strokes and strongly bracketed serifs that widen into wedge-like endings. The curves are full and weighty, while joins and terminals show a subtly calligraphic taper, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm across both cases. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed in presence, with crisp horizontals and pronounced serifs; the lowercase carries rounded bowls, compact apertures, and distinctive terminals (including ball-like dots and teardrop endings in places) that add texture at text sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and old-style in feel, with pronounced curves and strong vertical emphasis.
Well suited to display typography where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated—headlines, book and magazine titles, posters, and branding with a classic or heritage lean. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes where a rich typographic color and strong rhythm are desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial voice that reads as established and refined rather than minimalist. Its dramatic contrast and expressive terminals lend a slightly theatrical, old-world flavor that can feel literary and ceremonial when set large.
Likely intended as a modern take on traditional, high-contrast serif letterforms, emphasizing expressive flared terminals and a robust, print-forward presence. The design aims to balance formal authority with enough sculpted detail to stand out in titling and editorial settings.
The design’s visual signature comes from the flared, beaked serif behavior and the energetic modulation through curves, which creates strong word-shape and a dark, confident color on the page. The italic is not shown; the samples suggest the roman is intended to carry most of the personality through terminal shapes and contrast rather than slant or cursive forms.
