A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden as they meet the serifs. Stems are robust and sculpted, with sharp, pointed beaks and angular cuts in places, balanced by rounded bowls and pronounced bracketing at key joins. The rhythm is compact and assertive, with relatively tight apertures (notably in C, S, and e) and crisp inner counters that keep the dark color controlled. Numerals and capitals show display-minded proportions, while lowercase forms maintain a steady x-height and a slightly calligraphic, carved feel in their entry and exit strokes.
Performs best in headlines, cover lines, and short passages where its contrast and flared serifs can be appreciated. It suits book and magazine titling, poster typography, and brand marks that need a traditional yet forceful voice. For longer text, moderate sizing and slightly increased letterspacing can help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is formal and commanding, evoking editorial tradition and engraved signage while still feeling energetic due to the dramatic contrast and flared endings. It reads as confident and slightly theatrical, suited to messaging that wants weight, gravity, and presence.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, traditional serif presence with a carved, flared finish—combining classic editorial cues with heightened contrast for display impact. The intent reads as a contemporary take on historical, engraved and calligraphic serif forms, optimized for bold statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design’s crisp terminals and narrow openings increase impact at larger sizes, while the dense blackness and sharp details may require a bit more tracking in text settings. Curves and joins feel deliberately chiseled rather than purely geometric, giving the face a crafted, old-style display character.
