A robust serif with bracketed, flared terminals and pronounced wedge-like finishing, giving strokes a subtly sculpted, calligraphic feel. The proportions are traditional with steady vertical stress and a compact, dense rhythm that reads strongly at display sizes. Bowls are full and rounded, while joins and shoulders show gentle modulation rather than sharp mechanical transitions. Serifs often present as beaked or tapered wedges, and the overall texture is dark and even, with clear differentiation between thick stems and thinner connecting strokes.
Well suited to headlines, deck typography, and pull quotes where a strong, classic serif presence is desired. It also fits book covers, editorial branding, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, established voice and high-impact letterforms.
The tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography and institutional publishing. Its strong serifs and weighty color convey seriousness and confidence, while the mild calligraphic influence adds warmth and historical character rather than a purely utilitarian voice.
Likely designed to provide a powerful, traditional serif option with flared terminals that reinforce a carved, ink-influenced impression. The emphasis appears to be on confident display readability and a timeless editorial character rather than minimalism or neutral body-text invisibility.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and stable, with wide, open counters in letters like O, Q, and D. The lowercase maintains a traditional, readable skeleton with energetic terminals on letters such as a, c, e, and s. Numerals appear sturdy and old-style in spirit, with noticeable serifing and a consistent, print-forward presence.
