A robust serif with pronounced contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems often widen subtly into flared endings, paired with sharp beak-like accents on letters such as a, c, f, and r. The serifs read as bracketed and calligraphically influenced rather than blocky, and curves are full and rounded, giving counters a generous, open feel. Uppercase forms are broad and steady with strong horizontals, while lowercase shows compact joins and distinctive entry/exit strokes that add texture to the line.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium editorial settings where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It performs well for book and magazine typography, cover lines, posters, and brand marks that need a classic serif voice with extra punch.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contrasts suggest a literary or institutional voice—serious, authoritative, and a touch ornate without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif foundation by adding pronounced contrast and flared, sculptural terminals that increase impact. It aims to deliver a strong page color and a refined, traditional character suitable for authoritative display typography.
In the text sample, the dense color and strong vertical rhythm make it feel weighty and emphatic, especially in headings. Diacritics aren’t shown, but the displayed punctuation and figures match the same high-contrast, flared-serif language; numerals are sturdy and highly readable at display sizes.
