A very heavy serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that create a chiseled, slightly wedge-like silhouette. The stroke weight is dense but not monolinear: curves and joins show moderate modulation, and several letters exhibit subtly sheared terminals that add momentum. Counters are relatively tight in the heaviest letters, while the overall spacing stays even and readable at display sizes. The lowercase features a tall x-height with sturdy verticals and compact apertures, producing a dark, continuous text color in lines of copy.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks where its dense weight and flared detailing can read as intentional character rather than texture. It can also work well for branding and packaging that want a classic, authoritative voice, and for magazine-style editorial typography where strong typographic hierarchy is needed.
The font conveys a confident, heritage-leaning tone with a strong editorial presence. Its flared serifs and sculpted terminals give it a classic, almost engraved character, while the bold massing keeps it assertive and contemporary in impact.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif cues with a more sculptural, flared finishing, creating a display-forward face that stays cohesive and readable in bold settings. Its proportions and sturdy lowercase suggest an aim toward impactful text that retains a classic, crafted feel.
Round letters (like C, G, O) feel weighty and stable, with crisp interior shaping that prevents the forms from collapsing. Numerals are similarly bold and compact, matching the letterforms’ sturdy rhythm and maintaining consistent visual color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
