A robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs that flare from the stems. The design shows wide, sculpted capitals and compact, weighty lowercase forms with a steady baseline and clear, open counters. Terminals are sharply finished, with a slightly calligraphic stress implied by the thick–thin transitions. Figures are sturdy and traditional in construction, matching the letters’ confident, print-oriented texture.
It performs best in headlines, deck copy, and other large-size applications where the sculpted serifs and contrast create a rich typographic color. It also suits magazine layouts, book covers, and brand marks that need a traditional, assertive serif with strong presence.
The overall tone feels editorial and authoritative, with a classic, slightly dramatic presence suited to statement typography. Its strong serifs and high-contrast modeling give it a formal, established voice that reads as bookish and premium rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding, print-classic feel with emphasized serifs and flared stroke endings that add drama and structure. It prioritizes impact and typographic texture over neutrality, aiming to elevate editorial and display settings.
Spacing appears relatively generous for a heavy serif, helping maintain clarity in the sample text despite the dense strokes. The italic is not shown; all evidence points to a roman intended to hold up in prominent sizes where its flared serifs and contrast can be appreciated.
