A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals. Serifs are firmly bracketed and taper into wedge-like endings, giving stems a carved, slightly calligraphic feel without leaning into italics. Capitals are broad and stable with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase forms are compact with rounded bowls and clear joins. The rhythm is tight and weighty, and numerals follow the same bold, high-contrast logic for a consistent, print-forward texture.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a strong serif presence is desired, particularly in magazines, book covers, and poster work. It can also serve for branding and packaging that aims for a traditional, premium voice, and for short text passages where a dense, authoritative texture is acceptable.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a classic bookish seriousness. Its sharp, flared detailing adds a touch of drama and heritage character, reading as established and authoritative rather than casual or minimal.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif structure with flared, chiseled endings to deliver high-impact readability and a historic, editorial character. It prioritizes presence and typographic color, making it effective for attention-getting titles while retaining a conventional serif backbone.
The face produces a dark, commanding color in text settings, with distinctive terminal shapes that remain visible at display sizes. Counters stay reasonably open for a bold serif, and the flared finishing strokes create a slightly ornamental edge while preserving clear letter identity.
