A heavy, display-oriented serif with softly flared stems and wedge-like, bracketed terminals that broaden into the serifs. The forms are wide and sturdy with generous interior counters and rounded joins, creating a dense but readable texture. Curves are smooth and full (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while corners and terminals often finish in angled, chiseled cuts that give an engraved, ink-trapped impression. Lowercase shows a compact, grounded stance with a single-storey a and g, a round dot on i/j, and short, strong serifs that keep the rhythm tight at large sizes.
Well suited to headlines and short blocks of text where impact and personality are prioritized—magazine covers, section headers, cultural posters, book titling, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging and signage when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading to avoid dark, compact massing.
The overall tone is bold and authoritative, with a traditional, print-rooted character. Its flared endings and chiseled terminals add a slightly ceremonial, old-world flavor while still feeling friendly and approachable due to the rounded bowls and open counters.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra weight and presence, using flared stroke endings and chiseled terminals to evoke a classic, print-crafted feel while staying highly legible in display settings.
The numerals are thick and stable, matching the headline weight and maintaining clear silhouettes. The glyphs exhibit consistent terminal behavior across straight and curved strokes, giving the face a cohesive, carved/pressed look that reads best when allowed room to breathe.
