A robust serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. The forms are upright and generously proportioned, with broad capitals, rounded bowls, and clear internal counters that keep the heavy weight from clogging. Serifs read as triangular and subtly bracketed, and many joins show a gentle swelling into the terminals, giving a carved, chiseled feel. The lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with sturdy verticals and compact, well-defined curves, while figures are similarly weighty and built for emphasis.
Well suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where strong typographic color is desired. It can also serve book covers, cultural posters, and brand marks that benefit from a traditional serif voice with extra punch and character.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a sense of permanence and ceremonial gravity. Its sharp, flared endings add a slightly engraved or classical-inscription flavor, balancing strength with a refined, editorial polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with added impact, using flared terminals and strong modulation to create a memorable, display-forward texture while keeping counters open enough for short-text readability.
In text, the strong serifs and high-contrast strokes create a distinctive texture and a crisp baseline presence. The heavier joins and flared endings give letters a sculptural silhouette that reads especially clearly at larger sizes.
