A heavy, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than purely bracketed. The overall proportion is broad, with generous counters and a steady, upright rhythm that reads confidently at display sizes. Curves are full and polished, while terminals often sharpen into beaks or teardrop-like points, creating crisp inflections at joins and stroke ends. Numerals and capitals carry substantial mass with clear, classical modulation between thick and thin strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, posters, book and album covers, and brand marks that benefit from a confident, classical voice. It can also work for short bursts of text—pull quotes, section openers, and titling—where its strong contrast and sculpted endings remain clear.
The tone is stately and declarative, pairing old-style gravitas with a slightly theatrical edge from the pronounced contrast and pointed terminals. It feels traditional and institutional, yet punchy enough to project drama in large headlines.
Likely designed to deliver a commanding, traditional serif presence with added character from flared strokes and sharpened terminals, optimizing impact in large sizes while retaining a recognizable, bookish structure.
Lowercase shows a compact, sturdy build with prominent bowls and distinct, shaped terminals; the round letters maintain open interiors despite the weight. The font’s flare and terminal detailing add texture in lines of text, so spacing and color feel intentionally bold rather than neutral.
