A robust serif with pronounced contrast and sculpted, flaring stroke endings that read like wedge-shaped, bracketed serifs. The letters show a slightly calligraphic modulation: thick verticals and broadened joins paired with tighter hairlines and sharp, triangular terminals. Curves are full and weighty (notably in bowls and rounds), while counters remain relatively open for the weight. Lowercase forms lean traditional, with compact apertures and strong stress; the figures appear sturdy and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varied widths and prominent serifs.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, book covers, and display settings where strong typographic presence is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the flared terminals and contrast are clearly rendered.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a bookish, editorial gravitas. Its chiseled terminals and high-contrast rhythm evoke heritage printing and formal communication rather than minimal, contemporary neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif proportions with expressive, flared stroke endings to create a confident display-forward serif that still feels rooted in text typography. Its goal seems to be strong page color and recognizability through distinctive wedge terminals and high-contrast modulation.
The design emphasizes dark, consistent color on the page, with distinctive triangular entry/exit strokes that become a key signature in text. Capitals feel stately and solid, while the lowercase retains a lively, slightly hand-shaped character through tapered joins and flared terminals.
