A bold, high-contrast serif with broad proportions and strongly sculpted stroke endings. Stems and arms expand into flared terminals and bracketed serifs, giving the letterforms a carved, wedge-like feel rather than crisp, hairline finials. Curves are generously rounded with tight interior counters, and the joins show subtle notches and faceting that add texture at larger sizes. The lowercase has sturdy, compact bowls and a two-storey “g,” with a firm, upright rhythm and a solid baseline presence; numerals are heavy and classical in proportion.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its sculpted flares and contrast can be appreciated. It also fits editorial applications such as magazine titles or book-cover typography, and can support branding that aims for heritage, prestige, or classic gravitas.
The overall tone is formal and authoritative, with a traditional editorial voice. Its flared, sculptural detailing evokes engraved or letterpress-influenced typography, reading as established, confident, and slightly theatrical rather than minimal or neutral.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif voice with flared, carved terminals and pronounced contrast, creating a memorable display texture while retaining a traditional reading silhouette.
The heavier weight and textured joins can create dark, dense typographic color in paragraphs, while the crisp flare at ends helps maintain character separation in headlines. The design’s strong serif presence and tight counters suggest it will reward generous tracking and comfortable line spacing in longer settings.
