A robust serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that create a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Strokes show clear thick–thin modeling without becoming delicate, and curves are generous with smooth transitions into terminals. The uppercase is broad-shouldered and steady, while the lowercase combines compact bowls with sturdy verticals and distinctly shaped joins, producing an energetic rhythm. Numerals are weighty and clear, matching the overall sturdiness and maintaining consistent color in text.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where its flared, sculpted endings can be appreciated, and it also performs convincingly in short-form editorial text that benefits from strong, classic serif cues. It can lend a formal, established voice to branding, packaging, and poster typography where a traditional yet distinctive serif is desired.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone with a confident, authoritative presence. Its flared details and sculpted terminals add a refined, historic resonance, suggesting classic print culture rather than a strictly modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif conventions with flared, subtly calligraphic stroke endings to achieve a sturdy, engraved impression. It aims for high impact and recognizability while maintaining a cohesive, readable texture in running sample text.
In the sample text, the type holds together as a dense, even texture with strong word shapes, while the distinctive flaring at stroke ends gives headlines an engraved, display-like character. The shapes feel intentional and slightly idiosyncratic in a way that reads as crafted rather than mechanical.
