A robust serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. Strokes are heavy and steady with moderated contrast, while apertures and counters stay relatively open for the weight. The lowercase shows a large x-height and sturdy, rounded joins; bowls and shoulders are generous, with occasional sharp interior notches that read like subtle ink-trap shaping. Capitals are broad and commanding, with strong verticals and clear triangular serifs; diagonals (V, W, X) finish in crisp wedges. Numerals are equally weighty, with rounded forms and stable, footed constructions that match the uppercase rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, and short editorial passages where its dense color and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work well for branding and packaging that needs a classic, authoritative voice, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the wedge terminals and bracketed serifs remain crisp.
The tone is assertive and traditional, balancing old-style warmth with a modern, display-forward mass. Its flared endings and confident silhouettes suggest gravitas and heritage, while the large lowercase proportions keep it direct and approachable at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with extra visual power, using flared terminals and sturdy proportions to maintain impact and cohesion in display typography while keeping counters open enough for set text.
Across the set, terminals tend to taper into pointed wedges rather than flat cuts, creating a consistent chiseled rhythm. The italic is not shown; all samples present an upright, steady stance with a strong baseline and dense color in text blocks.
