A sturdy serif with pronounced flared terminals and bracketed serifs that broaden where strokes meet, giving the letterforms a carved, sculptural presence. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate contrast and smoothly tapered transitions at joins, producing a slightly calligraphic, chiseled rhythm. Counters are generous for the weight, and the overall spacing reads open and steady, supporting large text blocks without feeling cramped. The lowercase shows compact, readable forms with firm vertical stress and distinctive, wedge-like finishing details that add texture without becoming ornate.
Well suited to headlines and subheads in magazines, newspapers, and digital editorial layouts where a strong serif voice is needed. It also fits posters, book covers, and branding that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone with visible craft in the stroke endings.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic weight that feels suited to serious, established messaging. Its flared details add a hint of craftsmanship and heritage, while the bold color gives it an assertive, headline-forward voice.
Likely drawn to deliver a bold, heritage-leaning serif that reads clearly at display sizes while adding character through flared terminals and controlled contrast. The emphasis appears to be on producing a confident typographic color and a distinctive, sculpted texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
The design keeps a consistent flare language across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified texture in paragraphs. The numerals and key shapes (like S, R, and G) emphasize strong curves and decisive terminals, helping the font maintain presence at display sizes while remaining legible in longer settings.
