A robust serif with sculpted, flared terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that give the strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Curves are full and weighty, with moderate stroke modulation that’s most noticeable in round letters and at joins. The uppercase has broad, steady proportions and prominent top serifs, while the lowercase balances compact bowls with sturdy verticals, producing a dense, authoritative texture in text. Numerals follow the same substantial build with rounded forms and clear interior counters.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial settings, and display typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also work for book covers and branding that aims for a classic, authoritative impression, especially at medium to large sizes where the flared terminals and bracketing read clearly.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with an assertive, established presence that reads as serious and trustworthy. Its flared details add a hint of classical inscriptional character, keeping it from feeling purely mechanical or modern.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif tradition with a more sculptural, flared finish, yielding a strong display text face that remains readable while projecting gravitas and confidence.
Serif details are consistently emphasized across the set, with terminals that widen into wedge-like ends and create strong horizontal accents. The rhythm in running text is compact and dark, favoring impact and presence over delicacy.
