A strongly sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. The serifs feel bracketed and slightly flared, with stems that broaden into tapered endings rather than staying uniform. Counters are relatively compact in the heavier letters, while round forms keep a smooth, controlled curve and a firm vertical stress. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with sturdy, upright proportions, and the overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, giving headlines a solid typographic block.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where its strong contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for book covers, posters, and premium packaging that benefits from a classic yet assertive serif voice. For extended reading, it will generally perform better at comfortable sizes and with generous leading to offset the dense texture.
The tone is assertive and editorial, combining a traditional bookish foundation with a more dramatic, display-driven edge. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modeling add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the weight and tight internal spaces project confidence and gravity.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact serif voice that feels rooted in classic editorial typography while amplifying drama through sharp terminals, flared endings, and concentrated counters. It aims to read as formal and authoritative, with enough distinctive shaping to stand out in display use.
In the sample text, the heavy color and compact counters create strong emphasis but can look dark in long paragraphs at small sizes. Numerals and capitals read cleanly and formal, with distinctive, carved-feeling curves and pointed joins that add character in larger settings.
