A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady upright stance. Stems are sturdy and vertical while terminals and joins taper into flared, wedge-like endings, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. The serifs are bracketed and lively rather than flat, with sharp beaks and tapered corners visible in forms like C, G, S, and the diagonals of V/W. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy shapes with clear bowls and a two-storey a; the overall rhythm is dense and firm, built for impactful setting and strong word shapes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, brand marks, and other applications needing a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, authoritative presence. Its dramatic contrast and flared finishing strokes add a touch of elegance and theater, reading as refined but forceful rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif look with added energy from flared stroke endings—combining classical proportions with a slightly calligraphic, sculpted finish to increase presence in display typography.
In the samples, the heavy hairline/strong-stem contrast and sharp terminals create crisp texture at display sizes, while the dense color can feel assertive in long passages. Numerals match the serifed, high-contrast style and read as formal and headline-friendly.
