A sturdy display serif with pronounced stroke contrast and clear modulation. Stems and serifs show a subtly flared, bracketed behavior, creating chiseled terminals rather than flat slabs. Capitals are broad and steady with ample inner counters, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and weighty. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact joins, a two-storey a, and sturdy verticals; overall spacing feels generous and the rhythm is even, supporting large-setting clarity.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where a strong typographic voice is desired. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a classic serif impression and high-impact letterforms.
The tone is formal and confident, leaning classic and institutional without feeling delicate. Its strong contrast and flared detailing add a slightly ceremonial, engraved character that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, sculptural terminals—balancing readability with a more declarative, headline-ready presence.
In the sample text, the heavy color and open counters keep lines readable at larger sizes, while the crisp terminals and strong vertical stress give headlines a decisive, print-forward presence. Numerals are bold and traditional in feel, matching the letters’ weight and contrast.
