A sturdy serif with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that broaden into the serifs, giving an incised, carved impression. The stroke modulation is restrained, with thick, even verticals and gently tapered horizontals, producing a dense, steady color on the page. Uppercase forms feel broad and formal with pronounced, triangular serifs and rounded interior corners; the lowercase shows compact bowls and a clear, traditional rhythm. Counters are moderately open and the overall fit is on the tight side, helping the face read as solid and authoritative in text and display sizes.
This design suits headlines and subheads where a traditional voice with extra presence is desired, and it can anchor editorial layouts that need a firm, classical texture. It also works well for book covers, packaging, and identity applications seeking an engraved or heritage-leaning serif without extreme contrast.
The font conveys a classic, institutional tone—confident and established rather than delicate. Its flared terminals add warmth and craft, suggesting heritage printing or engraved lettering while remaining clean and contemporary enough for modern editorial use.
The letterforms appear intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, chiseled terminals to create a strong, recognizable texture. The goal seems to be a dependable, authoritative serif that retains a crafted, slightly monumental character in both display lines and shorter text settings.
In the sample text, the heavy serifs and widening terminals create strong word shapes and a distinctive texture, especially in letters like W, M, and the rounded forms (O, Q). Numerals appear robust and traditional, matching the uppercase weight and overall presence.
