A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are roomy and stable, with broad capitals, generous counters, and a steady, upright rhythm. Terminals and joins show smooth bracketing and a slightly carved feel, while diagonals and curves maintain crisp edges and strong contrast that stays consistent across the alphabet and figures.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where its contrast and flared serifs can create a strong typographic voice. It also fits editorial layouts, book or magazine titling, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a classic yet forceful serif presence.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a confident, editorial presence. Its dramatic contrast and flared endings add a slightly classical, display-forward character without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra visual punch—using high contrast and flared terminals to create a carved, print-centric texture that stands out at display sizes while remaining coherent in short passages.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and steady, while the lowercase keeps a clear, readable silhouette with a moderate x-height and distinctive curved terminals. Numerals appear similarly weighty and high-contrast, matching the letterforms’ sculpted, print-like texture in running text.
