This typeface presents a sturdy serif voice with pronounced, flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that broaden as they meet the terminals. Strokes show a clear but not extreme thick–thin relationship, with round letters carrying smooth, slightly squarish inner counters and confident, weighty curves. The lowercase is built around a comparatively tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, keeping words dense and prominent. Details such as the ball/teardrop-like terminals on forms like the lowercase a and the angled entry/exit strokes give it a crisp, carved rhythm, while spacing and proportions remain steady across the alphabet and numerals.
This font is well suited to headlines and subheads where a strong serif presence is needed, as well as editorial applications like magazine titles and feature openers. Its dense, high-impact texture also fits posters, institutional branding, and book covers where a classic, authoritative tone is desired. For longer passages it can work best with generous leading and thoughtful sizing to balance its heavy typographic color.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that feels at home in established institutions. Its flared endings and sculpted terminals add a subtly historic, engraved flavor without becoming ornamental. The result reads as confident and formal, suited to messaging that wants to sound trustworthy and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif headline feel with added distinctiveness through flared, wedge-like terminals and sculpted details. It aims for immediate authority and legibility in display settings while maintaining a coherent, traditional structure across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
At display sizes the flaring and wedge serifs become a primary character cue, adding sparkle at joins and terminals. The numerals match the capital weight and presence, making figures feel equally headline-ready. The sample text shows strong word shape and clear letter separation, with a noticeably robust color on the page.
