A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring terminals that widen into sharp, wedge-like serif endings. Curves are generously rounded while joins remain crisp, producing strong vertical emphasis and a stable, slightly expanded stance. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the lowercase shows a compact, traditional rhythm with clear two-storey forms and firm, tapered stems. Numerals and capitals share the same engraved, high-contrast construction, giving the set a cohesive, authoritative texture.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other editorial settings where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that needs a classic, premium feel, and it performs well for poster-style statements and book-cover titling where the flared terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, combining a bookish classicism with a bold, declarative presence. Its sharp terminals and high contrast add a sense of refinement and gravitas, while the broad proportions keep it assertive and easy to notice in a layout.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif reading of tradition and authority, while using flared, wedge-like terminals and strong contrast to increase impact at larger sizes. Its proportions and consistent rhythm suggest an intention to balance elegance with bold visibility in contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
The design leans on strong vertical strokes and pointed, flared finishing strokes that read distinctly at display sizes. Spacing appears comfortable in text samples, with a consistent rhythm and clear word shapes despite the heavy color.
