A robust serif with strongly bracketed, flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letters show a tall, stately stance with steady vertical stress, crisp joins, and compact counters that enhance density in text. Serifs are not rectangular slabs; instead they broaden from the stems with smooth curvature, giving a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Round forms (O, C, G) are full and stable, while diagonals (V, W, X) are sharp and decisive; figures are weighty with classic proportions and clear, traditional shapes.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a strong serif voice is needed, as well as editorial layouts and book-cover typography that benefit from a dense, authoritative texture. It can also support premium branding and packaging systems that want a classic, crafted feel with substantial weight.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial gravity that feels suited to established institutions and print-forward design. Its sculpted contrast and flared serifs add a touch of ceremony, projecting seriousness and refinement rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added impact through flared, bracketed endings and emphatic contrast, balancing classical proportions with a bold, sculptural presence for display-led typography.
In the sample text, the heavy strokes and tight inner spaces create strong texture and presence at display sizes; spacing reads even, with a dark, cohesive rhythm. The lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure, while the capitals carry a monumental, headline-ready character.
