A serif typeface with sturdy, weighty strokes and subtly sculpted flare at stroke endings, producing a carved, chiseled feel rather than crisp hairline serifs. Serifs appear bracketed and tapered, with rounded joins and smooth transitions that suggest an underlying calligraphic model. Counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is steady, while individual letters show slight width variation that adds texture to setting. Numerals and capitals read solid and stable, with ample presence in display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, standfirsts, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is needed. It can work for book covers, cultural or academic branding, and poster typography that benefits from a traditional, authoritative presence.
The tone is confident and traditional, projecting an editorial, institutional seriousness. Its flared detailing adds a touch of heritage craftsmanship, giving headlines a dignified, slightly old-world character without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif proportions with flared, sculpted terminals to create a robust display face that feels historic and crafted while remaining legible and controlled in setting.
In text, the weight and flared finishing create strong word shapes and a dark overall color, especially at larger sizes. The font favors impact and gravitas over delicacy, with consistent vertical stress and a composed, classical silhouette.
