A robust serif with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden as strokes meet the serifs. The capitals are wide and steady with sharp, triangular entry/exit points, while the lowercase shows a compact, bookish build with firm vertical stress and clearly differentiated bowls. Serifs are angular and slightly bracketed in feel, giving the outlines a chiseled rhythm; counters are moderately open and the joins stay clean at text sizes. Numerals share the same strong contrast and pointed finishing, producing a cohesive, punchy color in setting.
Well suited to headlines, cover typography, and editorial display where a strong, classic serif presence is desired. It can also work for short-form text such as pull quotes, section heads, and packaging copy where the high-contrast, flared detailing adds gravitas and distinction.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a slightly dramatic, engraved quality from the sharp terminals and strong contrast. It reads as confident and editorial—more ceremonious than casual—while still remaining familiar enough for conventional typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra emphasis through sculpted terminals and strong modulation, balancing legibility with a more monumental, engraved character. It aims to feel established and trustworthy while providing enough sharpness to stand out in display settings.
In continuous text the heavy main strokes and crisp serif shapes create a dark, emphatic texture; spacing appears comfortable, helping maintain clarity despite the strong contrast. The design’s flared endings and pointed details are especially noticeable in diagonals and curved letters, lending a carved, sign-like snap to headlines.
