A sturdy serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that read as carved rather than mechanically slabbed. Strokes are generally even with gentle modulation, while terminals widen into small wedges and points, giving the outlines a subtly inscribed character. Capitals are broad and steady with crisp apexes (notably in A, V, W, X) and confident horizontals; the lowercase keeps compact counters and round forms with a slightly pinched, chiseled finish. The overall rhythm is dense and authoritative, with clear word shapes and a deliberate, traditional silhouette in both text and display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, book jackets, editorial layouts, and brand marks that want a traditional, engraved flavor without extreme contrast. It holds presence in short text and display settings, and can also work for pull quotes and section heads where a firm, classic voice is needed.
The tone is classical and institutional—reminiscent of engraved titling and old-style editorial typography. Its flared endings and sharp interior joins add a faintly dramatic, ceremonial edge, making the voice feel confident and established rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at combining familiar serif proportions with flared, carved-like terminals to evoke heritage and authority. It emphasizes strong silhouettes and steady typographic color while adding distinctive, inscriptional finishing to keep large sizes expressive.
Distinctive details include a pronounced, stylized Q with a decorative internal form, and a lowercase g with a strong ear and rounded bowl that reinforces the font’s traditional texture. Numerals are sturdy and readable with the same flared finishing, maintaining consistent color alongside the letters.
