A robust display serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often flare into the stems. The letterforms are wide and generously spaced, with compact apertures and strong vertical emphasis balanced by sculpted curves. Terminals show a mix of sharp, triangular cuts and softened ball-like endings, giving the shapes a carved, engraved feel. In text, the rhythm is steady and weighty, with prominent serifs and clear stroke modulation defining word shapes.
Best suited to headlines and prominent typographic moments where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated—magazine titles, book covers, posters, and brand marks. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing, but its dense, high-contrast color favors display sizes over long-form body text.
The overall tone is formal and commanding, with a refined, traditional character that reads as premium and editorial. Its strong contrast and sculpted details add a touch of drama, suggesting prestige and seriousness rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, chiseled terminals for impact. It prioritizes presence and elegance, aiming for a classic-yet-dramatic display texture that signals quality and authority.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and steady, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, slightly compact look that reinforces the dense, authoritative texture. Numerals match the same high-contrast, serifed treatment, maintaining a cohesive, headline-oriented color.
