This typeface is a sculpted serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes, and stems that swell into subtly flared, bracketed terminals. Serifs are wedge-like and confident rather than slabby, giving letters a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The overall build is broad and weighty, with generous interior counters and a steady, upright posture. Curves (notably in C, G, O, S and the numerals) show controlled, tensioned modulation, while diagonals in V, W, X and Y maintain a crisp, chiseled rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other large-size settings where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a strong, classic voice is desired. The bold, sculptural color makes it especially effective for cover typography, posters, and brand marks that need a traditional yet dramatic serif.
The tone is stately and editorial, evoking classic print traditions with a more theatrical, high-impact voice. Its strong contrast and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and gravitas, making the text feel intentional and authoritative rather than casual. The result reads as traditional but not timid, with a distinct headline presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, wedge-like finishing, balancing readability with a distinctive, display-forward silhouette. It aims to project authority and refinement while maintaining enough stylized stroke behavior to stand out in editorial and branding contexts.
In the sample text the heavy weight and tight massing create a dark, commanding texture, especially in long lines. Round letters and numerals show pronounced thick–thin transitions, and the ampersand is bold and decorative, reinforcing a display-leaning personality.
