A robust serif design with flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that blend smoothly into the stems. The contrast is moderate, with thick, steady verticals and subtly tapered joins that create a carved, sculptural texture on the line. Proportions feel fairly compact in the lowercase with a solid x-height, while capitals are broad and imposing; counters are generally open, supporting clarity at display and text sizes alike.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine and newspaper display typography, and strong typographic covers where a traditional yet punchy serif is desired. It can also serve branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a confident, classic voice. In longer text, it will perform best where a darker color and emphatic rhythm are welcome (e.g., pull quotes, subheads, and short-form copy).
This typeface projects a confident, editorial tone with a slightly traditional, literary feel. Its weight and sculpted terminals give it a sense of authority and polish, reading as both classic and assertive rather than delicate or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver strong presence while retaining familiar bookish letterforms, using flared terminals and substantial serifs to create a distinctive, engraved-like texture. It aims to balance impact with legibility, making it suitable for prominent settings without becoming overly ornamental.
Serifs and terminals consistently flare into wedge shapes, producing a crisp, chiseled edge that reads cleanly in the sample text. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the heavy typographic color and assertive rhythm of the letters.
