A robust serif with pronounced, wedge-like flares at stroke terminals and compact, blocky proportions. Stems and joins feel sturdy and slightly sculpted, with subtle modulation that reads as heavier at the ends, giving the letterforms a chiseled look. Serifs are sharply tapered and often triangular, creating crisp entry/exit points on horizontals and diagonals, while counters stay fairly open for a bold design. The overall rhythm is steady and legible, with strong vertical emphasis and confident spacing in both caps and lowercase.
This design performs best at larger sizes where the flared terminals and sharp serifs can be appreciated—headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short blocks of text in print-forward layouts where a strong, traditional voice is desired.
The font conveys a classic, institutional tone—serious and dependable—while the flared terminals add a hint of engraved or vintage print character. Its weight and sharp serifs give it a commanding presence suited to headline-forward typography that wants to feel established and credible.
The letterforms appear intended to blend classic serif structure with distinctive flared endings, producing a bold, authoritative texture that stands out in display settings. The consistent wedge terminals and sturdy proportions suggest a focus on impact and recognizability rather than delicate, book-text refinement.
Diagonal forms (like in V, W, X, and Y) show decisive, pointed terminals that amplify the carved aesthetic. Numerals appear sturdy and display-oriented, matching the heavy texture of the letters and maintaining consistent terminal treatment across the set.
