A weighty serif with sculpted, tapering stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that give the outlines a subtly carved look. The letterforms are compact and sturdy, with rounded joins and gentle swelling into terminals that reads as flared rather than slabby. Curves are full and smooth, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is steady and vertical with a strong baseline presence. Numerals and capitals share the same robust mass and soft, teardrop-like finishing, keeping the set cohesive in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where its dark color and sculpted serifs can read clearly. It works well for editorial titling, book or album covers, heritage-leaning branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and commanding, evoking classic print typography with a slightly theatrical, poster-ready confidence. It feels serious and established rather than minimalist, with enough warmth in the shaping to avoid looking mechanical.
Likely intended as a bold, display-forward serif that borrows from traditional book and poster letterforms, emphasizing strong vertical structure and flared terminal shaping to create a distinctive, familiar presence at larger sizes.
The design’s distinctive character comes from its terminal treatment: many strokes widen into rounded, tapered ends that create a consistent "inked" silhouette across both roman and italic-free upright forms. In dense settings it produces a dark color, making spacing and size choices especially important for clarity.
