A very heavy serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show pronounced swelling on verticals and sharp, tapered joins, with frequent ball/teardrop terminals that give counters and strokes a sculpted, engraved feel. Proportions are moderately compact in the uppercase with sturdy stems and slightly lively, uneven rhythm in the lowercase, where bowls and shoulders lean into rounded, weighty shapes. Numerals match the overall mass and contrast, reading as display-friendly figures with bold curves and tapered finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its bold color and sculpted serifs can read clearly—such as magazine/editorial display, book jackets, posters, and brand marks that want a traditional, high-impact voice. It can work for pull quotes or titling in print and web when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is classic and commanding, with a theatrical, old-style gravitas. Its high-contrast drama and prominent terminals add a slightly whimsical, storybook edge while still feeling formal and editorial.
The design appears intended as a robust, high-contrast display serif that nods to traditional book types while amplifying weight, terminal detail, and drama for attention-grabbing typography.
At text sizes the strong contrast and dense color create an assertive texture, while at larger sizes the refined terminals and bracket transitions become the main character. The lowercase includes several distinctive, rounded forms (notably in a, g, and s) that emphasize personality over strict neutrality.
