A robust serif with pronounced stroke modulation and tapered, flaring terminals that give stems a subtly calligraphic finish. Serifs are bracketed and often beak-like, with sharp entry/exit cuts that keep counters clean and the overall silhouette crisp. Proportions feel generous and steady, with rounded forms that stay open in the bowls and a consistent, upright rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The texture in text is dark and even, with clear differentiation between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes.
Best suited for headlines and prominent editorial typography where a strong, classical serif voice is needed. It should also work well for book covers, poster titles, and brand marks that benefit from a dark, high-impact texture and refined, flared detailing.
The font conveys an editorial, authoritative tone—traditional and bookish, but with enough sharpness and contrast to feel assertive. Its flared endings and decisive serifs add a slightly dramatic, crafted character that reads as premium and formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with flared, tapering stroke endings to create a confident display presence that still holds together in paragraph-sized settings. The emphasis is on strong contrast, crisp terminals, and a premium editorial feel.
Round letters like O/C/Q show smooth curves paired with crisp terminal treatment, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain sturdy and controlled without becoming spindly. The numerals appear built to match the same weight and contrast as the letters, supporting consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
