A robust serif with bracketed, subtly flared terminals and a compact, weighty rhythm. Stems swell slightly toward the ends, producing wedge-like serifs and sharp triangular finishing shapes, while counters remain fairly open for the weight. Round letters read broad and steady with restrained contrast, and the overall spacing feels generous, giving the face a confident, display-forward presence even in running text. Numerals and capitals share the same solid, chiseled silhouette, with crisp joins and a consistent, ink-heavy texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where its dense color and flared serifs can project authority. It can also serve branding, packaging, and book-cover titles that benefit from a classic, engraved character, while remaining legible enough for short passages and pull quotes.
The tone is traditional and institutional, evoking bookish authority and a slightly monumental, engraved feel. Its strong serifs and emphatic terminals add a formal, old-world seriousness that suits assertive statements and heritage-minded branding.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with flared, wedge-like endings to create a distinctive, sturdy texture. It prioritizes impact and tradition, aiming for an authoritative voice that reads as established and dependable.
The lowercase shows a sturdy, workmanlike construction with short-to-moderate ascenders and descenders, keeping the line compact and dark. Angular finishing details (notably on diagonals and terminals) contribute to a carved, tactile impression that holds up well at larger sizes.
