A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, tapered stroke endings that often flare into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are bracketed and angular, giving a chiseled, sculptural feel rather than blunt slabs. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in presence, with sharp apexes and controlled curves; the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with compact bowls, a two-storey “g,” and a distinctive, slightly hooked “r.” Numerals are weighty and old-style in character, with energetic diagonals and pronounced terminal shaping that keeps forms lively at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and editorial branding that needs a classic, serious voice, and can work in short text settings when a strong typographic color is desired.
The font reads as authoritative and classic, with an editorial gravitas that feels rooted in book and newspaper typography. Its sharp terminals and flared details add drama and a slightly ceremonial tone, suggesting refinement and confidence rather than softness.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with added intensity through flared terminals and pronounced contrast. The intent appears to balance classical proportions with a more dramatic, display-forward finish for contemporary editorial and branding use.
The combination of heavy main stems and thin connecting strokes creates strong sparkle in text, while the wedge-like terminals introduce a subtle calligraphic edge. Spacing in the sample appears comfortable for headlines and short passages, with a robust texture that remains legible but visually prominent.
