A robust serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and firmly bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, chiseled feel. Curves are full and round with tight apertures, while verticals and diagonals stay steady and compact, producing a dense, authoritative texture. The lowercase shows a single‑storey “a” and “g,” with rounded bowls and short, weighty finishing strokes; dots and punctuation read as solid, squared-leaning marks. Numerals are sturdy and high-impact, with ample interior counters and confident curves that match the letterforms’ mass and rhythm.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, book jackets, and other editorial typography where a strong serif presence is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, premium feel, and poster work needing bold, high-contrast word shapes without relying on extreme contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly emphatic voice. Its dark color and flared details add a handcrafted, heritage sensibility while remaining clean enough for contemporary branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added strength and character through flared endings and compact, weighty forms. The emphasis is on impact and legibility at larger sizes, balancing classic cues with a sculpted, contemporary finish.
At text sizes the heavy stroke weight creates a strong page color, favoring short-to-medium passages and display settings where the sculpted terminals can be appreciated. The forms maintain a consistent, disciplined rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures, contributing to a cohesive, headline-ready presence.
