A weighty serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and thinner joins. Serifs read as wedge-like and often subtly bracketed, with a slightly sheared, calligraphic feel in terminals and cross-strokes. Counters are rounded and generous for the weight, while apertures tend to stay relatively tight, creating dense, ink-trap-free silhouettes. The overall rhythm is sturdy and steady, with broad capitals and compact lowercase that keeps a strong typographic “color” in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where strong presence and classical character are desired. It can also work for book covers and brand marks that need authority and tradition, particularly when set with ample leading and comfortable spacing to balance its dark typographic color.
The tone is assertive and traditional, combining a bookish, literary sensibility with a poster-like punch. It feels formal and institutionally grounded, but the flared endings and curved details add warmth and a hint of old-world craft.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif voice with extra weight and sculptural detailing, leveraging flared endings and strong contrast to stay legible and distinctive in display contexts while retaining a text-rooted, bookish personality.
In the sample paragraph, the heavy serifs and contrast create a distinctly dark, headline-forward texture; at smaller sizes this would likely read as intentionally bold and emphatic rather than delicate. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights, reinforcing a classical, text-oriented flavor even in display settings.
