A sturdy serif with softly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. The weight is dense and even, with low modulation and a slightly compact, vertical stance that keeps lines feeling solid. Joins and interior corners show small cut-ins that read like subtle ink traps, helping counters stay open at heavy sizes. Uppercase forms are broad and stately, while the lowercase keeps a rounded, sturdy rhythm with a relatively tall presence and clear, straightforward shapes.
Best suited to display and headline settings where its strong color and flared detailing can be appreciated, such as magazine titles, book covers, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short text blocks like pull quotes or section headers when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and assured, suggesting traditional print typography with a slightly rugged, workmanlike edge. It feels serious and editorial, leaning toward institutional and literary contexts rather than playful or delicate ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added firmness and character through flared terminals and chiseled detailing, producing a confident texture and strong presence in print-like compositions.
Serifs and terminals have a pronounced, chiseled geometry that gives the face a carved/engraved flavor without becoming decorative. Numerals are similarly robust and legible, matching the strong text color and steady rhythm of the letters.
