A sturdy serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften transitions into the stems. The letterforms show broad, confident strokes with gently tapered terminals, a compact, solid color on the page, and slightly condensed counters that keep the texture dense. Capitals feel monumental and steady, while the lowercase maintains a traditional serif rhythm with rounded bowls and short, controlled joins. Numerals are weighty and legible, matching the overall dark, editorial tone.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice and rich typographic color are desired. It also fits book and magazine cover typography, institutional branding, and poster work that benefits from a traditional yet sculpted serif presence.
The font projects a classic, authoritative voice with a polished, print-forward presence. Its dense color and sculpted details read as serious and established, lending a literary and institutional character without feeling delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading of authority and tradition, enhanced by flared, sculptural stroke endings to add personality and emphasis in display and editorial contexts.
The flare at stroke endings gives many terminals a subtly chiseled look, helping large sizes feel distinctive while retaining conventional proportions. Overall spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for a compact, impactful setting in headlines and short passages.
