A robust serif with broad proportions and a strongly sculpted, high-contrast build. Strokes transition between thick verticals and thin joins, with bracketed, flaring serifs that create sharp wedge-like terminals on many letters. The overall rhythm is expansive and steady, with generous counters and a slightly calligraphic, carved feel in curves and joins. Uppercase forms read monumental and stable, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with distinctive, rounded bowls and crisp, tapering terminals.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, deck copy, posters, and book or magazine covers where its broad, high-contrast forms can command attention. It can also serve for branding and titling that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the sculpted serifs and contrast read clearly.
The font conveys a confident, heritage tone—formal and weighty, with an old-style gravitas that feels suited to institutions and classic print culture. Its wide stance and emphatic serifs give it a ceremonial presence, while the high contrast adds a refined, slightly dramatic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra width and weight, emphasizing strong silhouettes, dramatic stroke contrast, and flaring serifs for a carved, historic impression. It prioritizes presence and legibility in prominent settings, aiming for a classic editorial and institutional flavor with heightened impact.
Numerals are similarly wide and sturdy, with clear differentiation and bold silhouettes that hold up in display contexts. The overall texture in paragraphs is dark and emphatic, favoring impact and personality over unobtrusive neutrality.
