A robust serif with pronounced contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with stems that thicken into their endings rather than stopping abruptly, producing a strong, anchored baseline. Counters are generous for the weight, with round letters (O, C, G) showing smooth, full curves and clean joins; diagonals in V/W/X read sharp and steady. The lowercase is compact and solid, with single-storey a and g, a sturdy, short-armed t, and a broad, rounded e; numerals are heavy and centered, with a prominent, near-circular 8 and a strong 0.
Best suited for display and editorial roles such as magazine headlines, section openers, book covers, and bold pull quotes where its strong color and flared detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and branding wordmarks that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, blending old-style warmth with a modern, punchy presence. Its flared endings and high-contrast rhythm evoke classic print typography—confident, slightly dramatic, and well-suited to messaging that wants gravitas without feeling delicate.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra emphasis and impact, using flared terminals and strong contrast to enhance rhythm and memorability in larger sizes.
At text sizes the dark color is noticeable and consistent, making it especially effective for headlines and short passages. The forms keep a disciplined, upright posture, while the flaring terminals add movement and a subtle handwritten influence.
