A robust serif with strongly sculpted, bracketed terminals and wedge-like serifs that flare outward. Strokes show pronounced modulation, with heavy verticals and noticeably thinner connecting strokes, creating a rhythmic, engraved feel. The letterforms are generously proportioned with broad counters and a steady, upright stance, while the serifs and joins form crisp triangular notches that add bite and texture at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation match the same weighty, chiseled construction for a cohesive, headline-forward color.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where its sculpted serifs and contrast can be appreciated. It can work for book covers, mastheads, and branding that wants a classic, institutional tone, and it also performs well in posters or pull quotes where a strong typographic voice is needed.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, leaning toward a heritage, editorial voice. Its dramatic modulation and emphatic serifs give it a confident, slightly theatrical presence that reads as formal and established rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened drama: wide, open forms paired with sharply flared serifs and strong stroke modulation for impact. The goal seems to be a dependable, classic reading silhouette that still feels distinctive and emphatic in display settings.
The design’s distinctive character comes from the sharp, flared terminals and the recurring pointed notches at joins, which create a lively surface texture without becoming ornamental. In continuous text it maintains a strong, dark typographic color, while the wide shapes and open counters help preserve clarity.
