A robust serif design with sculpted, flared terminals and prominent wedge-like serifs that read as sharply cut yet smoothly bracketed into the stems. Strokes are weighty and confident, with moderate contrast and a distinctly carved, slightly calligraphic modulation that shows in diagonals and curved joins. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with strong horizontal emphasis in letters like E and T; curves (C, G, O) are generously rounded and full. Lowercase maintains a traditional serif structure with a compact, sturdy rhythm; counters are open but not airy, and details like the ear of g and the angled terminals on r and a contribute to an engraved, old-style flavor. Numerals are similarly heavy and display-oriented, with clear shapes and emphatic terminals that match the capitals.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and prominent editorial settings where a strong serif voice is desirable. It can also serve well in branding and packaging that aims for heritage, authority, or a classic print sensibility, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the flared terminals and serif shapes can be appreciated.
The overall tone is dignified and assertive, evoking printed tradition and institutional gravitas. Its sharp serifs and carved joins give it a slightly dramatic, poster-like presence while still feeling rooted in classic book and headline typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra visual bite: a bold, carved structure paired with flared, wedge-like endings to increase impact and character in display and editorial typography.
The serif treatment is a defining feature: many terminals end in pointed, beak-like wedges, and the flaring at stroke ends produces a chiseled silhouette. Spacing in the sample feels geared toward impactful setting at larger sizes, where the angular details and strong serifs read crisply.
