A robust serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced, bracketed serifs that broaden out of the stems. Strokes feel firm and slightly tapered, with moderate contrast and a strong vertical axis, giving the forms a carved, ink-trap-adjacent solidity at joins. Counters are relatively tight and the glyphs show sturdy, blocky proportions, especially in capitals, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with a noticeable, oldstyle-leaning texture in characters like a, e, g, and t. Figures are weighty and legible, matching the letters’ dense color and emphatic serifs.
This font is well suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a strong serif voice is desired. It can work effectively on book covers, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, weight-forward presence, and it performs best when given enough size and spacing to keep counters open.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with an editorial gravitas that reads as established and dependable. Its flared endings add a subtly engraved, heritage feel without becoming overly delicate, projecting confidence and seriousness.
It appears designed to deliver a bold, traditional reading of a flared serif—combining classic proportions with emphatic terminals to produce a confident, print-forward texture that stands out in display and editorial settings.
In text, the heavy serifing and tight internal spaces create a dark, compact typographic color that favors larger sizes. The flared terminals help letters hold their shape and distinction, especially in capitals and in round forms like O, Q, and 0.
