A high-contrast serif with thick, sculpted main strokes and sharp, tapered hairlines. Stems and terminals flare outward into pointed, cupped serifs, creating a chiseled, calligraphic finish rather than flat slabs. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/C/G), while joins and diagonals stay crisp, giving the design a lively, engraved rhythm. Lowercase shows sturdy bowls and compact apertures, with a prominent two‑storey a and g and a strong, dark overall texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and titling where contrast and flared terminals can read clearly and add personality. It can work for short editorial passages and pull quotes when set with comfortable leading, and it fits branding for heritage, luxury, culinary, or literary contexts that benefit from a strong, classic voice.
The tone is authoritative and theatrical, blending old-style bookish familiarity with a more dramatic, display-leaning punch. Its flared endings and sharp contrasts suggest heritage, refinement, and a slightly gothic or storybook gravity, making lines feel ceremonial and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with added drama through flared stroke endings and pronounced contrast. It prioritizes a bold, carved silhouette and memorable word-shapes for display and editorial settings.
The numerals are similarly high-contrast and stylized, with prominent curves and tapered details that keep them consistent with the letterforms. Spacing in the samples reads dense and weighty, favoring impact over airiness, while distinctive terminals and ball-like details add character at headline sizes.
