This typeface is a bold, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared terminals and distinctly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Strokes show a calligraphic logic—thick verticals paired with finer hairlines—while joins and curves are crisp, with pointed apexes and tapered endings. The letterforms are relatively compact with tight, sturdy counters, and the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a two-storey “g” and a strong, slightly forward-leaning stress in rounded forms. Numerals are weighty and display-like, with pronounced curves and sharp finishing details that match the serif treatment.
It suits headlines and subheads in magazines, book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a confident, traditional voice. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes where the strong contrast and flared details can be appreciated without crowding.
Overall, the font projects a classic, editorial tone with a sense of authority and ceremony. Its sharp, flared finishing and pronounced contrast add drama and a slightly vintage, bookish character, making text feel deliberate and formal rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with heightened contrast and expressive, flared endings—balancing traditional proportions with a more dramatic, display-oriented finish.
In larger settings the distinctive terminals and bracketing become a key signature, giving words a sculptural texture. The heavier weight and tight interior spaces suggest it will read best with comfortable tracking and line spacing, especially in dense paragraphs.
