A robust text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The forms show calligraphic influence in the swelling curves and tapered joins, producing a lively rhythm despite the heavy overall color. Capitals are broad and stable with sharp apexes and strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact bowls and clear counters. Terminals frequently finish in tapered points or small ball-like details (notably in letters like a, c, f, j, y), and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sculpted curves and firm serifs.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve book covers and cultural posters, and works for branding that needs a traditional, authoritative tone, particularly in larger sizes.
The tone is classic and assertive, with a distinctly editorial seriousness. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modulation add a sense of refinement and tradition, while the weight and wide set give it a confident, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading model with elevated drama through strong contrast and sculpted, calligraphic detailing. It aims to balance classic proportions with a heavier, more attention-grabbing color for display-led typography.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a sparkling texture and clear word shapes, especially at larger sizes. The heavy strokes and compact interior spaces suggest it will read most comfortably when given generous size or spacing in display and short-form settings.
