A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and subtly tapered strokes that create a gently chiseled, engraved feel. The forms are broad and steady, with rounded bowls and compact joins that keep counters relatively tight at text sizes. Serifs flare into triangular terminals on many letters, and the stroke modulation is modest but noticeable, especially where curves meet stems. Overall rhythm is strong and emphatic, leaning toward display-friendly solidity while retaining conventional text-serif construction.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short editorial passages where its sturdy serifs and wedge terminals can be appreciated. It can also support classic branding and packaging that wants a traditional, authoritative impression, especially when set with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a slightly antique, carved-stone character that reads as institutional and literary. Its weight and sharp serif tips add a dramatic, declarative voice suited to classic, formal messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with extra weight and sculpted, wedge-like terminals for impact. It aims for a historic, engraved flavor while remaining readable and familiar in structure.
Uppercase shapes feel particularly monumental, while lowercase details (like the ear/terminals and the pointed finishing strokes) add a faint calligraphic edge. Numerals follow the same sturdy, serifed construction, keeping a consistent, emphatic color across mixed text.
