A robust serif with sculpted, tapering terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Stems are heavy and widen subtly into flared, bracketed serif-like endings, while joins and curves are cut cleanly for a crisp, print-forward texture. Counters are compact relative to the weight, and the overall rhythm is sturdy and deliberate, with slightly calligraphic shaping in bowls and diagonals. The lowercase maintains a conventional x-height with strong vertical emphasis, and the numerals share the same weighty, high-impact presence.
Best suited to display and large text where the contrast and sculpted terminals can read clearly—such as magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that want a classic, authoritative voice. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where a bold serif texture is desired.
The typeface projects an authoritative, traditional tone with a touch of drama from its strong contrast and chiseled finishing. It feels institutional and editorial—confident, serious, and designed to command attention without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif credibility with a more forceful, contemporary display weight, using flared, bracketed endings and sharp modulation to create strong silhouettes and a memorable, editorial presence.
Wide capitals and substantial serifs give headlines a stable, blocky silhouette. The beaked and tapered details (notably in letters like C, G, S, and the diagonals) add character and a slightly old-style, engraved flavor while keeping the forms clear and consistent at display sizes.
