A sturdy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than slab-like. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and broad, open counters that keep forms clear at display sizes. The capitals are wide and stable with generous inner space, while the lowercase shows rounded joins and compact, weighty shoulders. Numerals share the same confident, sculpted construction, with strong verticals and softened transitions that reinforce an engraved, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the dense weight and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also support branding and packaging that needs a classic, heritage-leaning voice, and it works effectively for short editorial passages when a strong, authoritative texture is desired.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, projecting a bookish, institutional confidence. Its flared endings add a subtle calligraphic warmth, keeping the voice from feeling purely mechanical while still reading as formal and established.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif credibility with a more sculpted, flared terminal treatment for extra personality and impact. It prioritizes solidity and clarity, aiming for a classic display presence that remains readable and controlled.
The rhythm is dense and dark in paragraphs, with thick horizontals and weighty curves creating strong word shapes. Terminals and serifs consistently widen into the stems, giving a distinctive ‘chiseled’ finish that reads well in headlines and emphatic settings.
