A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the serifs. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, sculpted joins that give counters a tight, carved feel. Curves end in rounded ball terminals in several lowercase forms (notably the j and y), while capitals keep a disciplined, traditional structure with sharply defined serifs and restrained bracketing. Numerals follow the same sturdy rhythm, with clear, old-style influenced shaping and confident top/bottom treatments that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other short-to-medium display text where the high contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial branding, book covers, and packaging that needs a classic, premium tone with strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, combining classic bookish gravity with a slightly theatrical, high-contrast snap. It feels suited to tradition-forward branding and publishing contexts where a strong, confident voice is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with amplified contrast and expressive terminals, balancing formal structure with distinctive finishing details. The goal seems to be a display-oriented text face that can project authority while maintaining a lively, crafted texture.
At larger sizes the flared terminals and ball details become a key part of the texture, creating a lively baseline and a distinctive rhythm in words. The heavy mass and compact proportions suggest careful use of tracking in dense settings, where the sharp terminals can visually tighten spacing.
