A robust serif with compact, low-contrast strokes and a clearly flared finish at many terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, chiseled feel. Serifs are short and strongly bracketed, with triangular wedges and subtle notches where strokes meet, especially noticeable in diagonals and joins. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and curves are full and steady, producing a stable rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals and punctuation follow the same heavy, sculpted construction, maintaining a consistent texture in display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and logo-style wordmarks where its heavy, sculpted texture and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also works well for posters, packaging, and book covers that need a traditional, authoritative voice, and can handle short editorial subheads where strong contrast against the page is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a collegiate and editorial gravitas. Its flared details add a slightly ceremonial, engraved character that reads as classic rather than quirky, making it feel established and authoritative.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra punch and distinctiveness through flared terminals and wedge-like joins, balancing readability with a display-forward, engraved impression.
The capitals have a strong, blocky presence with pronounced wedge-like stroke endings, while the lowercase keeps sturdy proportions and clear shapes that hold up under dense settings. Rounded letters (like O/C) show thick, even curves; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) emphasize the sharp, flared terminals that define the style.
