A robust serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes show subtle swelling and tapering, with crisp join behavior and compact counters that keep the color dense in text. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly squared in their curves, while the lowercase features a large, tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders and rounded bowls. Details like the beaked terminals, wedge-like feet, and sharp ear/fin accents add texture and a distinctly modeled rhythm across words.
This face is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine titling, and book-cover typography where a strong serif voice is desirable. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic, established feel, and it holds up well in short passages of text when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, projecting a bookish authority with a warm, slightly vintage finish. Its dark presence and sculpted terminals give it a headline-forward seriousness, while the generous x-height keeps it approachable and readable.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with flared, sculptural finishing, creating a dark, impactful texture that remains legible thanks to a tall x-height and clear internal shapes. It emphasizes presence and authority in display settings while retaining the manners of a text-informed serif.
In the sample text the spacing reads even and the heavy serifs help word shapes lock together, producing a strong horizontal rhythm. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the text color of the letters and reinforcing the font’s display-ready character.
