A dense, heavy serif with compact counters and strongly modeled curves. Stems and main strokes feel carved and slightly tapered, widening subtly into flared, bracketed serif connections rather than abrupt slabs. Terminals often finish in rounded or teardrop-like forms, giving the letterforms a sculpted, ink-trap-adjacent softness at joins and ends. The texture is dark and steady, with readable interior shapes and a consistent, slightly calligraphic modulation across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, cover titles, and branding where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or short blocks of text when a dark, emphatic typographic color is desirable, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a display-forward weight that reads as editorial and institutional. Its flared endings and rounded terminals add a touch of vintage warmth, balancing formality with a subtly expressive, crafted feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding serif presence with a crafted, flared-terminal character—combining classic proportions with softened, sculptural details to stay expressive at display sizes while remaining structured and legible.
Capitals are broad-shouldered and monument-like, while the lowercase maintains sturdy proportions and clear differentiation of forms. The numerals match the letterforms’ heavy, sculpted rhythm, producing a unified color in headlines and short passages.
