A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that flare naturally from the stems. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and stroke endings taper into sharp, chiseled points that give the letterforms an incised feel. Proportions are compact and sturdy in text, with a moderate x-height and relatively short ascenders, and a crisp, rhythmic alternation between thick verticals and hairline transitions. Numerals follow the same robust, editorial tone, with clear weighting and strong vertical stress.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and newspaper display, book covers, and other editorial applications where strong typographic color is desirable. It can also work for branding and titling that benefits from a classical, authoritative serif with distinctive flared terminals.
The overall tone reads confident and traditional, with a dramatic, print-forward presence. Its flared, sharpened terminals add a slightly ceremonial and crafted character, suggesting classic book typography with a more forceful, headline-ready voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added impact through bold weight, high contrast, and flared, incised-looking terminals. The goal seems to be a display serif that remains coherent and readable in short text while projecting a refined, commanding presence.
In the sample text, the dense color and sharp terminals create strong emphasis and punch, especially at larger sizes. The pointed wedges in letters like A, V, W, and Y reinforce a carved, formal aesthetic, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture despite the bold weight.
