A sturdy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke ends and strongly bracketed serifs that read as sculpted rather than slabby. Strokes are heavy with moderate contrast, and the overall texture is dark and compact, helped by relatively narrow letterforms and tight internal counters. Terminals tend toward crisp, wedge-like finishes, while curves are controlled and slightly squared in their transitions, giving the outlines a carved, print-forward feel. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a normal x-height and firm, vertical stress, producing an even rhythm in paragraphs.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also serve book covers and magazine titles effectively, especially in short to medium-length text where its dark, formal texture supports emphasis and hierarchy.
The font communicates a confident, traditional tone—serious, bookish, and editorial. Its dark color and assertive serifs add a sense of authority and gravitas, suitable for messaging that aims to feel established and trustworthy rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with extra visual strength and distinctive flared terminals, balancing traditional proportions with a compact, high-impact presence for contemporary editorial and display use.
At larger sizes the flared endings and bracketed joins become a defining detail, lending a stately, engraved-like presence. In dense settings the weight and compact counters can create a heavy page color, so it naturally favors display or confident text sizes where its shaping has room to breathe.
