A weighty serif with pronounced contrast and a subtly flared, incised construction where stems swell into bracketed serifs and tapered terminals. Curves are compact and well controlled, producing tight apertures and sturdy counters, while joints and diagonals show crisp, chiseled-looking transitions. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals with a solid, even rhythm in text, and the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with robust, rounded bowls and emphatic vertical stress. Numerals are strong and display-oriented, matching the heavy color and high-contrast stroke behavior of the letters.
This face performs best in headlines, magazine or newspaper-style display settings, and other editorial applications where a strong serif presence is desired. It also suits book covers, packaging, and branding that call for a classic, authoritative tone, and can be used for short blocks of text when generous size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a formal, old-world seriousness that reads as established and confident. Its heavy color and sharp, incised details add a sense of drama suited to assertive editorial voices.
The letterforms appear designed to merge traditional serif proportions with an incised, flared-stem finish to create a strong, high-impact reading color. The intent seems to prioritize recognizable classic structure while adding sharp terminal shaping and contrast for display strength and personality.
The design’s compact apertures and dense stroke color make it feel most at home at larger sizes, where the flared terminals and internal shaping are easiest to appreciate. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
