A robust serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that flare out from the stems. The design shows pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes, with crisp, clean joins and a steady, upright stance. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the curves (notably in C, G, S, and O) feel controlled and slightly squared-off at stress points, giving a carved, print-forward rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a two-storey a and g and short, firm serifs that keep word shapes dense and even.
Best suited to display sizes where the flared serifs and high-contrast detailing can be appreciated—headlines, editorial titling, posters, and book covers. It can also support branding and packaging that needs a classic, authoritative serif voice, especially where strong typographic color is desirable.
The overall tone reads traditional and editorial, with a confident, authoritative voice. Its flared detailing and sharp terminals add a subtle historic, engraved feel without becoming overly ornamental, balancing warmth with clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with added visual bite through flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced contrast. It emphasizes impact and a cultivated, print-classic feel while maintaining disciplined proportions for readable, structured typography.
In the sample text, the heavy color and strong serifs create a clear headline presence and a consistent texture across long lines. Numerals appear weighty and stable, matching the uppercase’s formal construction and reinforcing a serious, print-oriented character.
