A robust serif with subtly flared terminals and wedge-like serifs that broaden out from the stems, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic finish. The curves are generous and the joins are firmly modeled, producing a confident, dark text color with clear rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Bowls and counters stay open for the weight, while details like the hooked forms and angled terminals add bite without becoming overly ornamental. Figures are similarly sturdy and traditional in construction, matching the heavy, formal tone of the alphabet.
Well-suited to headlines, cover typography, and editorial display where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, confident tone, especially in short to medium-length text settings where its weight and flared detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys a classic, authoritative voice with an editorial seriousness. Its flared endings and sculpted shapes suggest heritage printing and literary settings, balancing formality with a slightly dramatic, emphatic presence.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with flared, tapered stroke endings to create a more sculpted, expressive silhouette. It prioritizes presence and typographic character while maintaining conventional letterform construction for familiarity and clarity.
Uppercase proportions feel stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains strong presence with pronounced terminals and a somewhat energetic silhouette. The overall texture is intentionally dense and high-impact, making the face read as assertive at headline sizes while still retaining recognizable, traditional serif cues.
