A compact serif with sturdy, dark strokes and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into sculpted terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, giving the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic finish rather than a strictly mechanical one. Curves are full and controlled, counters are moderately tight, and the overall rhythm is dense with firm vertical emphasis. Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with clear, sturdy joins and decisive terminals; figures match the same weight and presence for consistent color in text.
Well suited to display settings where a confident serif voice is needed—magazine headlines, section openers, posters, and book-cover typography. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a classic, authoritative feel, especially when set with generous leading to balance its dense texture.
The tone reads confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that suggests heritage and credibility. Its heavy ink and shaped terminals lend a slightly theatrical, headline-forward character while still feeling rooted in classic book typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with subtly flared, shaped terminals to create a robust, attention-grabbing texture. It prioritizes strong presence and clear letterforms for impactful display typography with a classical edge.
In the text sample, the font produces a strong, even typographic color and holds its structure well at large sizes. The flared details show most clearly in vertical strokes and at serif transitions, adding character without becoming ornate.
