A heavy, display-oriented serif with stout verticals and subtly swelling stems that widen into flared, bracketed terminals. The serifs read as wedge-like and beaked in places, with rounded joins and a softly calligraphic modulation rather than sharp, high-contrast hairlines. Counters are compact and the color is dense, while curves (C, G, O, S) stay smooth and controlled; the overall rhythm is steady and deliberate, with capitals built broad and sturdy and lowercase forms showing sturdy bowls and a two-storey a with a strong ear.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the dense weight and flared serif detailing can carry personality. It also fits book covers and magazine titling, and can support branding for heritage-leaning products or institutions when used in larger sizes and with comfortable spacing.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting confidence and tradition without feeling overly delicate. Its flared endings and compact interiors give it a sturdy, slightly old-style authority suited to emphatic headlines and institutional messaging.
Likely drawn to offer a robust, print-forward serif with a traditional foundation and distinctive flared terminals, balancing classic proportions with a strong, contemporary display weight for attention-grabbing typography.
The numerals and capitals are designed to read solidly at large sizes, with clear silhouette-driven differentiation (notably in 2, 3, 5, and 7) and strong baseline presence. In text settings the dense weight and tight internal space push it toward short runs, where the sculpted terminals and serif rhythm are most visible.
