A sturdy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that grow naturally out of the stems. Strokes show a gently calligraphic modulation with tapered joins and sharp internal corners, giving the letters a carved, chiseled feel without becoming overly ornamental. Uppercase forms are broad and stately with crisp terminals, while the lowercase keeps compact, readable bowls and a two-storey a and g; the overall texture is dark and authoritative with clear counters and decisive diagonals.
Best suited to headlines and large text where the flared terminals and sculpted serif details can read clearly—magazine titles, book and film covers, cultural posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of body copy in print-oriented layouts when a classic, authoritative texture is desired.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone—confident and slightly dramatic, with a classical, bookish gravity. Its flared endings and sculpted details suggest heritage publishing and institutional design rather than a purely modern or minimalist voice.
Likely designed to blend classical serif proportions with flared, chiseled stroke endings for a strong display presence. The intention reads as creating a traditional yet distinctive editorial face that feels carved and dignified, emphasizing impact and character over neutrality.
Round characters (O, Q, 0) appear robust with smoothly swelling curves, while sharp letters (V, W, X, Y) emphasize pointed joins and strong diagonals. Numerals are weighty and display-friendly, matching the letterforms’ carved rhythm and high-impact presence.
