A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sculpted, flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. Serifs are strongly bracketed, giving joins a carved, transitional feel, while verticals carry most of the visual weight and hairlines stay taut and clean. Uppercase forms are wide and stately with deep interior counters, and the lowercase shows compact apertures and sturdy bowls that maintain clarity at display sizes. Numerals are heavy and stable, with simple, high-impact shapes that match the strong vertical rhythm of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, posters, and book-cover titling where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium voice, especially in short to medium text settings.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a print-like gravity that reads as established and editorial. Its sharp contrast and flared endings add drama and a slightly ceremonial character, lending text a sense of importance and finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened drama and strong presence, combining classical proportions with flared, chiseled stroke endings for a distinctive display-forward texture.
Spacing appears generous in the samples, supporting impactful headlines and short blocks of text. Round letters (like O and Q) feel tightly controlled and slightly squared-off in their tension, contributing to a firm, commanding texture.
