A robust serif with pronounced flaring where stems meet terminals, creating a subtly sculpted, wedge-like finish rather than flat slabs. The texture is dark and steady, with moderate stroke contrast and softly bracketed joins that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Serifs and terminals feel slightly cupped and calligraphic, and several forms show gentle swelling toward ends, lending a carved, almost inked quality. Uppercase proportions are compact and sturdy; the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height with rounded bowls and confident, weighty stems for a cohesive page rhythm.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where its dark color and flared terminals can define a strong typographic voice—magazine headlines, book and album covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short blocks of text when a traditional, emphatic serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an assertive, editorial presence. Its flared endings add warmth and a touch of drama, suggesting heritage and craft rather than strict neutrality. The weight and sculpted terminals give it a confident, slightly ceremonial voice suited to emphatic typography.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif readability with expressive, flared terminals that add handcrafted personality and strong presence at larger sizes. Its consistent weight and sculpted endings suggest a focus on impactful titles and confident editorial typography rather than understated body text.
In the sample text, the strong serif activity and flared terminals produce a distinctive headline color and a rhythmic, slightly “chiselled” silhouette. Numerals appear sturdy and old-style in spirit, matching the serifed, text-forward character of the letters.
