A robust serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp wedge-like serifs that often flare from the stems into tapered endings. Strokes feel largely even in weight but with visible swelling at terminals and joins, giving the letters a sculpted, chiseled rhythm. Counters are compact and the overall color is dense, with sturdy capitals and slightly softer, more calligraphic lowercase shapes; the italic is not shown and the forms read consistently upright. Numerals are substantial and headline-oriented, matching the strong stem presence and firm baseline behavior.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style layouts, book covers, and branding that needs a classic, authoritative serif with visible craft. It should perform best in larger sizes where the flared terminals and serif shaping can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is traditional and editorial, balancing gravitas with a touch of old-style warmth. Its flared endings and sharp serif details suggest a bookish, institutional voice—confident, serious, and slightly historic rather than minimalist or techy.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added energy from flared terminals—combining traditional proportions with punchy, display-forward weight for impactful reading in editorial and brand contexts.
Spacing appears generous enough for display and short text, while the dense weight and compact counters push it toward larger sizes. Distinctive details such as the strong wedge serifs, the assertive diagonals in V/W, and the prominent, high-impact figures make it particularly attention-grabbing in titles.
