A bold, display-oriented serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine connecting strokes. Stems flare subtly into wedge-like, bracketed serifs, creating a carved, calligraphic rhythm rather than strictly mechanical slabs. Curves are full and weighty with slightly pinched joins and tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e; counters stay generous enough to remain legible at larger sizes. The lowercase shows a sturdy, rounded construction with a prominent two-storey g and strong, ball-like terminals, while numerals are robust and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with lively curves and emphatic stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines, deck typography, and editorial display where its dense texture and flared serifs can read as intentional and premium. It can also work well for branding marks, packaging, and event posters that benefit from a classic yet assertive serif voice.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a dramatic, print-forward presence. Its flared endings and high-contrast modeling suggest heritage and craft, giving headlines a confident, slightly theatrical gravitas.
This design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif personality with extra punch: strong vertical emphasis, refined contrast, and flared stroke endings that add character and perceived craftsmanship in larger-scale typography.
Diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) read sharp and energetic, and the Q’s long, sweeping tail adds a distinctive signature in display settings. Spacing appears tuned for impact, producing dense, poster-like texture in continuous text while maintaining clear word shapes.
