A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and strongly tapered joins. Strokes move from thick verticals to hairline connections, creating a crisp, chiselled rhythm and pronounced interior shapes. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into points, with occasional ball terminals and notched details that add a carved, inked-in feel. The letterforms are upright and confident, with compact counters and lively curvature—especially visible in C, S, G, and the lowercases’ ear and terminal treatments.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and book or album covers where its contrast and sculpted serifs can read clearly. It can also work for premium branding, packaging, and titling systems that want a classic serif voice with extra drama.
The tone is bold and editorial, mixing classical bookish authority with a theatrical, headline-ready punch. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast convey prestige and formality, while the slightly idiosyncratic terminals add personality and a touch of vintage flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with amplified contrast and emphatic, carved terminals for maximum impact. It prioritizes strong typographic color and distinctive detailing that reads as refined and authoritative in display settings.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight interior spaces create strong impact but also increase the risk of filling-in at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. Numerals and capitals feel especially display-oriented, with a stately, poster-like stance and pronounced thick–thin modulation.
