A compact, sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and firmly bracketed joins. Strokes show a clear but not extreme contrast, with verticals carrying most of the weight and curves swelling smoothly into heavier bowls. The serifs read as subtly chiseled and tapered rather than rectangular, producing a carved, print-forward texture. Counters are moderately tight and the lowercase has a relatively even rhythm, while the uppercase feels broad-shouldered and authoritative. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the letterforms’ emphatic terminals and rounded, slightly squared-off curves.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where weighty serifs and flared terminals can deliver authority—magazine and newspaper headlines, book-cover titling, posters, and bold packaging typography. It can also work for short text passages when a dense, traditional texture is desired, though its heavy color will dominate in longer runs.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly formal presence. Its flared endings and sturdy modeling evoke a classic, print-era seriousness—more newspaper/book typography than minimalist branding—while still feeling energetic and assertive in headlines.
Likely designed to provide a robust, classical serif voice with distinctive flared terminals—optimized for strong presence in titles and prominent typography while maintaining familiar book-serif proportions and readability cues.
The design’s flare and tapering create dark, sculpted silhouettes that stay cohesive at large sizes, especially in the heavy sample text. The rounded forms (notably in C, G, O, and e) keep it from feeling overly sharp, balancing solidity with warmth.
