A heavy, oldstyle-influenced serif with pronounced flaring into wedge-like, bracketed terminals and a sturdy, compact build. Strokes are broadly modeled with moderate contrast and crisp transitions, giving counters a slightly pinched, sculpted feel at joins and apertures. The capitals are wide-shouldered and blocky with confident serifs, while the lowercase shows robust bowls and firm verticals; the overall rhythm is dense and emphatic rather than airy. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, reading as solid, headline-ready figures.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short blocks of copy where a strong serif voice is needed. It works well for editorial design, book and album covers, packaging, and identity systems that want a classic, premium feel with bold presence.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, with a vintage editorial flavor that recalls engraved and bookish display serifs. Its weight and flared endings add a sense of ceremony and confidence, making text feel declarative and impactful.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, traditional serif voice with flared, sculptural terminals that stay legible and distinctive at display sizes. It prioritizes impact and a classic print-like texture over neutrality, aiming for a recognizable, authoritative tone in titles and branding.
At larger sizes the sharp, wedge-like terminals and bracketing become a defining texture, creating a strong horizontal cadence across words. The heavy color can close up in tight settings, so it benefits from comfortable spacing and generous line height in longer passages.
