A robust serif with wedge-like, subtly flared terminals and bracketed joins that create a carved, sculptural feel. Strokes are relatively even in weight with gentle modulation, and the letters are broadly proportioned with generous bowls and open counters. Capitals read stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with a two-storey a and g and compact, sturdy serifs throughout. Numerals are heavy and legible, matching the strong horizontal emphasis and crisp, slightly tapered finishing on many strokes.
Well suited to headlines and editorial typography where a strong, classic serif voice is desired. It can also anchor book covers, posters, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, traditional character and clear, high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is formal and confident, with a traditional print sensibility that feels at home in serious, text-forward contexts. Its weight and flared detailing add a sense of heritage and authority without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif conventions with pronounced flaring at stroke ends, producing a durable, print-oriented texture that stays readable while adding a distinctive, chiseled personality.
The serif treatment often behaves more like a tapering wedge than a thin hairline, giving the face a distinctive, engraved rhythm. Spacing in the samples appears comfortable at display sizes, and the broad letterforms help maintain clarity and presence across dense lines of text.
