A robust serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced contrast between thick stems and finer connecting strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often taper into subtly flared, beak-like terminals, giving stroke endings a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a purely mechanical finish. Capitals are wide and stately with sturdy horizontals, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and tight apertures, producing a dense, text-forward color. Numerals and punctuation follow the same chiseled logic, with crisp joins and confident, weighty silhouettes.
Well-suited to headlines, titles, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice and strong presence are desired. It can also work for editorial branding, cover typography, and formal display settings where dense letterforms and high contrast help create a confident, traditional impression.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness reminiscent of book and newspaper typography. The tapered terminals add a touch of craft and heritage, keeping the heaviness from feeling blunt. It reads as confident and established rather than playful or experimental.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif appearance with added character through tapered, flared stroke endings and beaked terminals. The intent appears to balance strong, headline-ready weight with a refined, historically rooted finishing style that feels at home in editorial and traditional contexts.
At larger sizes the angular, beaked terminals and bracket transitions become a defining detail; in smaller settings the compact lowercase and strong weight create a dark, emphatic texture. The rhythm is steady and vertical, with relatively conservative shapes and a clear, conventional construction across the set.
