A robust serif with strongly modeled, high-contrast strokes and a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Vertical stems are heavy and steady, while joins and terminals flare outward with tapered, beak-like endings that read as carved rather than purely geometric. Serifs are bracketed and energetic, with sharp interior notches and wedge-shaped feet that create crisp punctuation at the baseline. Counters are compact and the color is dense, giving the face a commanding texture in paragraphs and a punchy silhouette in all caps.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine layouts, posters, and book covers where the strong contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form editorial text—pull quotes, standfirsts, section openers—where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. For identity work, it lends a classic, established voice with extra sharpness and impact.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a dramatic, editorial voice. Its sharp flares and pronounced contrast add a slightly theatrical, headline-forward character, suggesting heritage and gravitas rather than neutrality. Overall it feels confident and cultivated, suited to messaging that wants to look established and emphatic.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif foundation with more expressive, flared terminals to increase punch and distinctiveness at larger sizes. Its heavy verticals and sculpted details aim to deliver a confident, traditional impression while staying visually memorable in branding and editorial display.
The uppercase shows strong monumentality (notably in letters like E, F, H, N), while curved forms (C, G, O, S) emphasize the contrast through thick verticals and finer transitions. Lowercase forms keep the same chiseled terminal logic, with a compact, sturdy feel and pronounced feet on letters like n, u, and r. Numerals appear lining and share the same weighty presence, with clear contrast and sturdy bowls in 6/8/9.
