A sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a subtly sculpted, carved feel. Vertical stems are strong and steady, while bowls and curves stay open, producing generous counters and clear word shapes. The x-height reads relatively tall, with compact ascenders/descenders and a dense, confident texture in paragraph settings. Numerals and capitals carry a traditional, slightly formal structure, with smooth curves and crisp joins that maintain consistent rhythm across the alphabet.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, feature titles, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is desired. The sturdy shapes and open counters also suit book-cover titling and short-to-medium passages that need a classic, authoritative feel without becoming delicate.
The tone is confident and traditional, leaning editorial and literary rather than playful. Its pronounced serifs and flared endings add a touch of gravitas and display energy, making text feel authoritative and composed.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif conventions with flared stroke endings to create a more sculptural, high-impact texture. It aims for clarity and seriousness while adding distinctive terminal shapes that help it stand out in display and editorial typography.
In the sample text, the font maintains a dark, even color and strong presence at larger sizes, with a pleasing balance between sharp wedge details and rounded interior forms. The overall rhythm feels stable and slightly condensed in impression due to the weight and tight internal spacing, supporting impactful headlines and emphatic typographic voice.
