A robust serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and a strongly sculpted silhouette. Strokes are generally even in weight but open out into wedge-like terminals and short, confident serifs that give letters a carved, chiseled finish. Counters are relatively tight and the curves are full, producing a dense, steady color in text. Uppercase forms feel broad-shouldered and stable, while lowercase shows traditional proportions with clear, firm shoulders and a straightforward, upright construction.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where a confident serif voice is desired. It can support editorial layouts, book and magazine cover typography, and brand identities that benefit from a traditional, established presence.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a slightly monumental, engraved character that reads as established and serious. Its weight and flared finishing add gravitas, suggesting tradition and authority rather than lightness or casualness.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif structure with distinctive flared endings to create a bold, recognizable texture. It aims for strong readability and a stable typographic color while adding a carved, slightly monumental personality through its terminals and serifs.
In the sample text, the font maintains a dark, even rhythm and holds together well at display-to-subhead sizes, where the flared terminals and shaped serifs become a defining detail. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, matching the strong, old-style editorial feel of the letters.
