A robust serif with wedge-like, flared stroke endings and compact, sturdy letterforms. Strokes are largely even, with gentle swelling into the terminals and short, firm serifs that read as carved rather than slabby. Counters are moderately open and the curves are smooth and controlled, while joins stay clean and slightly tightened for a dense, confident texture. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the letters with strong vertical presence and clear, traditional proportions.
It works well for headlines, deck copy, and titling where a strong, classical voice is needed. The dense color and wedge-serifs also suit editorial applications such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book jackets, and can lend heritage character to branding and packaging when used at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and self-assured, with a bookish, institutional feel. Its heavy presence and crisp endings convey seriousness and authority, while the softened flaring keeps it from feeling overly sharp or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional serif: sturdy, readable shapes paired with flared, wedge-like terminals that add a distinctive, carved finish. It aims for confident prominence in display while maintaining the familiar rhythm of classic text serifs.
Spacing appears on the tighter side in running text, producing a solid, dark typographic color that suits display and short-form setting. The design balances square-shouldered structure with subtly tapered endings, giving it a carved, engraved impression without relying on high contrast.
