A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sculpted, flared stroke endings. The letterforms are broad and weighty, with thick main stems and sharply tapered hairlines that create a crisp light–dark rhythm. Serifs read as bracketed and slightly splayed, and curves are full and rounded with tight joins that emphasize the contrast. Counters are moderate to slightly tight in the boldest shapes, and the overall texture is dense but controlled, maintaining clear silhouettes in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book and journal titling, posters, and premium branding. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes, but the dense, high-contrast texture suggests avoiding long body copy at small sizes.
The font conveys a confident, high-end editorial tone with a hint of classical gravitas. Its sharp contrast and flared terminals feel ceremonial and expressive, suggesting tradition and authority while still reading as deliberately stylized and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic, classic-meets-expressive serif voice: broad proportions for presence, extreme contrast for drama, and flared, bracketed finishing for a crafted, heritage-leaning personality.
Capitals feel monumental and steady, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement in strokes like a, g, and y. Numerals are similarly bold and sculpted, matching the same contrast and flared finishing for a cohesive set.
