A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. The letterforms are generously wide with compact counters and a steady, upright posture, giving the face a solid block of color in text. Curves are smooth and full, with sharp joins where diagonals meet stems; several glyphs show teardrop/ball-like terminals and wedge-like feet that emphasize the flared finish. Numerals are sturdy and classical in feel, with a prominent, rounded 8 and a strong, open 2 and 3 that match the caps’ weight and presence.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other display applications where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for editorial pull quotes, book or magazine titles, and branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in established, print-forward settings. Its strong contrast and sculpted details add a touch of drama and ceremony, suggesting authority and heritage rather than neutrality.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic serif impression with added punch: wide proportions, high contrast, and flared/bracketed finishing that increases visual impact. The goal is a strong, legible display serif that bridges traditional bookish cues with modern, attention-grabbing weight.
In running text the dense weight and wide set create a confident, poster-like rhythm, while the crisp contrast and bracketed details remain visible at larger sizes. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) read especially full and stately, and the lowercase maintains a consistent, sturdy texture with clearly differentiated shapes.
