A robust serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and noticeably flared stroke endings that create a sculpted, calligraphic presence. The design shows pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp edges, with bracketed joins that soften transitions into stems. Counters are fairly compact and the curves are full, giving letters a dense, weighty color on the page. Uppercase forms feel monumental and steady, while the lowercase carries the same strong modulation with energetic terminals and a slightly compact rhythm suited to larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, book covers, and display settings where contrast and serif detail can read clearly. It can also support branding and packaging that wants a classical, authoritative voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the flared terminals and bracketed serifs remain distinct.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a bookish, editorial confidence. Its strong contrast and flared details add a touch of drama and ceremony, reading as formal, established, and slightly vintage rather than neutral or minimalist.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with added punch through high contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals. The intention appears to balance classical proportions with emphatic stroke endings to create a memorable, headline-ready texture.
Round letters like O and C show clear stress and tapered joins, and several characters exhibit beak-like terminals that sharpen the silhouette. Numerals appear sturdy and classical in proportion, matching the heavy typographic color of the letters. The bold presence and intricate stroke shaping suggest it is intended to be seen, not to disappear into the background.
