A high-contrast serif with weighty vertical stems, sharp hairlines, and strongly bracketed serifs that often flare into wedge-like terminals. Curves are generous and slightly squarish in places, with visible pinched joins and inward notches that give counters a carved, ink-trap-like feel. Uppercase proportions read stately and compact, while the lowercase is robust with rounded bowls, single-storey forms (notably a and g), and prominent ball terminals. Numerals are sturdy and old-style in spirit, with distinctive curves and strong thick–thin modulation.
Well suited to headlines, title treatments, and editorial typography where strong serif character and a confident texture are desirable. It can also work for short passages and pull quotes in print-like layouts, and for branding applications (such as packaging or labels) that benefit from a classic, crafted feel.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, combining a classical bookish voice with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready punch. Its deep contrast and sculpted terminals add a touch of vintage charm and formality, lending text an authoritative, crafted presence.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif foundation with more pronounced contrast, sculpted joins, and distinctive terminals, creating a face that remains familiar yet adds display-grade personality. It aims to deliver authoritative readability while providing enough flair for prominent typographic moments.
Spacing appears moderately tight, and the heavy vertical rhythm creates strong color on the page, especially in mixed-case settings. The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a single upright roman with expressive terminal detailing that becomes more noticeable at display sizes.
