A heavy, display-oriented serif with compact proportions and strong, sculpted terminals. Strokes are broadly weighted with modest contrast, and many joins and serifs flare outward into wedge-like, bracketed endings that create a carved, slightly tapered feel. Counters are relatively tight and the curves are sturdy and rounded, producing a dense rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals share the same confident weight and crisp, angular serif treatment, keeping the overall texture bold and cohesive.
Best suited for headlines, poster typography, mastheads, and branding where a strong serif presence is desirable. It also works well for book covers and editorial display settings that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is traditional and assertive, with an editorial gravitas that recalls print-era headlines and institutional signage. Its flared serif shaping adds a subtle vintage, engraved character while staying clean and contemporary enough for modern layout use.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif voice with added character from flared, wedge-like terminals. It aims for high impact and clear silhouette, prioritizing display readability and a distinctive, engraved-leaning texture over delicate refinement.
In the sample text, the heavy color and tight internal spacing make the face feel punchy and emphatic, especially in mixed-case. The flare at stroke ends helps keep shapes distinct at large sizes, but the dense counters and strong serifs create a visually busy texture if set too small or too tight.
