A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and sharply defined wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation with relatively vertical stress, giving rounds a carved, engraved feel. Serifs tend to bracket into the stems and often finish with beak-like points, while joins and shoulders stay crisp and compact. Proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in the uppercase with wide, open counters; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with clear, traditional shapes and tight, controlled curves. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and stately, with strong verticals and dramatic tapered strokes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-form editorial settings where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can add gravitas to magazine and newspaper-style layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and brand messaging that calls for tradition and authority. For longer text, it will perform more comfortably at generous sizes and with ample leading.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a classic editorial confidence. Its sharp serifs and flared endings add a ceremonial, old-world elegance while the heavy color keeps it assertive and attention-grabbing. The texture feels premium and formal rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on classical serif letterforms with heightened contrast and flared, chiseled terminals. It prioritizes strong presence and a polished, premium texture for display and editorial typography.
At larger sizes the dramatic contrast and pointed terminals read as intentional styling, producing a rhythmic, punchy word shape in headlines. In dense lines the weight and contrast create a strong typographic color, so spacing and size will be key to maintaining clarity in extended passages.
