A sturdy serif design with flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, sculptural feel. Proportions are robust and slightly compact, with generous counters and a steady rhythm that reads clearly at display sizes. Stroke contrast stays modest, while joins and terminals are sharply defined; several letters show distinctive triangular notches and tapered ends that add energy without becoming ornamental. Numerals are weighty and confident, matching the overall density and crisp, print-oriented silhouette.
This face is well suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where its flared serifs and dense color can do visual work. It also fits editorial design, book and magazine covers, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, authoritative voice with a subtly distinctive edge.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that suggests established publishing and institutional communication. Its pronounced flaring and crisp terminals add a hint of vintage gravitas, making it feel confident, intentional, and slightly dramatic in headlines.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by emphasizing flared terminals and crisp, chiseled details, delivering strong presence while keeping the overall construction restrained and readable.
The uppercase set feels especially strong and monumental, while the lowercase keeps a compact, steady cadence with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Diacritics and punctuation in the sample text appear solid and well integrated at large sizes, reinforcing the font’s suitability for impactful typographic statements.
