A sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, ink-trap-like solidity. The letters are broadly proportioned with generous counters, a high x-height, and a compact internal rhythm that keeps word shapes dense and stable. Serifs are short and triangular rather than hairline, and curves are full with subtly squared shoulders, producing an overall muscular, print-forward texture. Numerals match the letterforms with strong vertical stress and decisive, sculpted endings.
Performs best at display sizes where the flared terminals and bracketed structure can read clearly—headlines, subheads, and pull quotes in editorial layouts. It also suits identity work that needs heritage and authority, such as packaging, cultural branding, and book cover titling.
The tone feels traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness suited to established institutions. Its strong, chiseled terminals add a slightly dramatic, historic flavor—more bookish and ceremonial than casual or purely modern.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, classic serif voice with sculpted, flaring endings that remain legible and impactful in print-like settings. The emphasis appears to be on confident headline performance while retaining a credible, literary feel for short passages.
In text, the heavy color and tight inter-letter rhythm create a commanding page presence, especially in headlines. The combination of wide capitals and a tall lowercase gives a stately, readable silhouette, while the sharp terminals keep the texture crisp and energetic.
