A heavy, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Strokes taper sharply into fine hairlines, while verticals and main stems stay dense and weighty, creating a strong light–dark rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into pointed, beak-like or wedge-like endings, with occasional teardrop and ball terminals in the lowercase. Counters are compact and the joins feel carved rather than mechanical, giving the letterforms a robust, slightly theatrical texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and large-size typography where its contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial applications such as magazine titles, pull quotes, and book-cover typography that needs a classic serif voice with extra visual punch.
The overall tone is commanding and classic, with a distinctly editorial flair. Its sharp tapers and dramatic contrast add a sense of ceremony and impact, reading as traditional but energized rather than quiet or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and expressive, tapered finishing, aiming for impactful display use while remaining legible in short-to-medium text settings.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tapered serifs create noticeable sparkle and texture, especially around diagonals and curved joins. The numerals and capitals carry the same sculpted, display-forward character, with pronounced weight concentration and crisp finishing details.
