A robust, high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that create a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes move from thick verticals to fine hairlines with noticeable tapering at joins, giving many letters a subtly pinched waist and lively modulation. The lowercase shows rounded, generous bowls (a, b, p, q) and compact apertures, while capitals are broad and stately with prominent finishing strokes and a slightly triangular, chiseled serif treatment. Numerals are heavy and display-oriented, with strong vertical stress and crisp top/bottom finishing details.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial titling where a classic, authoritative presence is desired. It also fits book and magazine covers, heritage-leaning branding, and poster work that benefits from strong contrast and distinctive flared terminals.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a pronounced editorial drama. Its flared endings and sharp contrast add a ceremonial, slightly vintage voice that reads as formal and emphatic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra visual energy through flaring stroke endings and pronounced contrast, producing a bold, display-ready texture that still feels rooted in book typography.
In continuous text the texture is dark and rhythmic, with pronounced thicks that create strong lines and clear word shapes. The letterforms retain a consistent flare logic across the set, and the sharp hairlines and deep notches suggest best performance at medium to large sizes where the detailing can breathe.
