A high-impact serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and softly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes show a noticeable but controlled modulation, with broad verticals and tapered joins that create a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic texture in text. The uppercase is sturdy and monumental, with wide bowls and confident curves, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable structure and distinct, weighty shapes. Numerals are similarly bold and old-style leaning in feel, with curving forms and pronounced terminals that maintain the family’s heavy, chiseled color.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial titling where its weight and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits book covers, posters, and brand marks that need a traditional, prestigious voice, and it can work for short-form text or leads when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is formal and authoritative, with a classic, heritage character that reads as editorial and institutional. Its flared endings add a hint of drama and craftsmanship, suggesting tradition, ceremony, and gravitas rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added sculptural energy through flared terminals and controlled modulation. It aims to balance traditional bookish familiarity with a more monumental, display-forward presence for impactful typography.
In running text the dense weight and strong terminals create a dark, steady typographic color with prominent word shapes. The forms favor rounded, swelling curves and tapered stroke endings, giving headings a carved-display presence while remaining coherent in short paragraphs at larger sizes.
