A serif display face with subtly flared stems and sharply defined, wedge-like terminals. The strokes read mostly even in thickness but finish with noticeable swelling into the serifs, producing a sculpted, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the design maintains a steady baseline with crisp joins and confident diagonals. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while lowercase retains clear, traditional structure with compact, sturdy serifs and a straightforward rhythm in text.
It performs best in display and titling contexts such as headlines, book jackets, magazine features, and heritage-leaning branding. The strong serif articulation and sculpted terminals help it hold up at larger sizes and in short-to-medium text where a traditional, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a refined, bookish authority. Its flared endings and sharp terminals add a slightly ceremonial, old-world character that feels serious and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, chiseled terminals to create a distinctive, high-impact text color. It aims for a traditional voice with extra sharpness and drama at the stroke ends, emphasizing presence and legibility in prominent settings.
The numerals and capitals appear built for prominence, with strong silhouettes and clear internal spaces that keep heavy setting from clogging. The texture in paragraph-style sample text is firm and dark, giving it an assertive presence that rewards moderate leading and careful tracking in longer passages.
