A robust serif with strongly bracketed, flared stroke endings and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer joins. The letterforms are wide and steady, with a relatively tall cap presence and a moderate x-height that keeps lowercase counters open. Serifs tend to be cupped and slightly pointed, and several lowercase forms show ball terminals (notably on f, j, and y), adding a sculpted, calligraphic accent. Curves are smooth and weighty, while joins and apertures are carefully controlled, giving the face an even, authoritative rhythm in text despite its bold color.
Best suited to headlines and subheads where its strong contrast and flared serifs can carry presence, and it also performs well in editorial contexts for short-to-medium text blocks that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice. It can be effective for book covers, cultural institutions, and premium packaging where a heritage-inflected serif is desired.
The font reads as traditional and editorial, projecting confidence and gravitas with a slightly theatrical, old-style flair. Its flared endings and ball terminals add a crafted, historical tone that feels established rather than minimalist or tech-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, tradition-leaning serif voice with sculpted, flared terminals that add personality without sacrificing readability. It balances display impact with enough regularity and open counters to remain usable for editorial typography.
The numerals are sturdy and display-oriented, with clear differentiation and ample width. Diacritics and punctuation aren’t shown here, but the visible glyphs maintain consistent serif treatment and curvature across capitals, lowercase, and figures, which helps the design feel cohesive in longer passages.
