A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tightly controlled curves. Stems and serifs show a tapered, flared behavior that creates wedge-like terminals and a subtly carved, inked impression, especially where strokes join or turn. Counters are compact and the overall color is dense, with rounded letters staying smooth while diagonals and joins remain crisp. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with clear differentiation between forms, and numerals match the heavy, sculpted texture of the text.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, and other display settings where its sculpted contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. The strong texture also suits editorial titling, book cover typography, posters, and branding that aims for a classic, authoritative voice.
The font conveys a confident, traditional tone with a touch of drama. Its dense weight and sharp, flared terminals feel editorial and authoritative, suggesting classic print typography and headline-driven layouts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif structure with more sculpted, flared terminals and heightened contrast to create impact at larger sizes. It prioritizes a distinctive, print-like texture and a confident editorial presence over neutrality.
Spacing appears intentionally on the tight side in text, helping the face build a strong, unified typographic block. Terminals frequently end in pointed or teardrop-like shapes, giving the design a distinctive rhythm and an engraved, display-oriented presence.
