A compact, flared serif with sculpted stems that widen into tapered, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a rhythmic, calligraphic influence: curved joins and inner counters feel softly modeled, while outer edges remain crisp. Serifs are bracketed and often triangular, producing a carved, slightly inscribed look, and the capitals have strong, stable proportions with pronounced diagonals and deep bowls. The lowercase is compact with sturdy shoulders and rounded forms; dots and punctuation appear weighty and well-centered, reinforcing the dark, even texture.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and title settings where a confident, classical voice is needed. It can also serve in branding—especially for institutions or products seeking heritage cues—along with posters and packaging that benefit from a dark, carved-in presence.
The overall tone is formal and literary, balancing authority with a subtle humanist warmth. Its flared terminals and modeled curves evoke a classical, print-oriented sensibility—serious, established, and slightly ceremonial without feeling overly ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with added character through flared terminals and subtly calligraphic modeling, creating strong headline impact while maintaining a disciplined, readable structure.
The design holds up well at display sizes where the flare and internal shaping become prominent, while the dense color suggests it can maintain presence in short text passages. Numerals are robust and traditional in feel, matching the weight and cadence of the letters.
