A robust serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins that give strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. The letterforms are strongly constructed with broad proportions, generous sidebearings, and a steady baseline rhythm. Counters tend to be compact in the bowls, and curves transition into stems with confident, slightly swelling connections that emphasize the stroke endings. Numerals and capitals carry substantial presence, while the lowercase maintains clear structure and consistent texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to headlines, mastheads, and poster typography where a strong, classic serif presence is needed. It can also work for book covers and branding systems that benefit from a traditional, high-impact voice, while set text will read best with comfortable spacing and moderate line lengths due to its dense texture.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a sense of institutional gravity. The strong terminals and sturdy weight lend a confident, editorial voice that feels established rather than experimental.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif conventions with flared stroke endings to maximize presence and clarity at large sizes. Its sturdy proportions and emphatic terminals suggest a focus on impactful display use with a traditional, editorial character.
In the sample text, the heavy mass and flared terminals create a dark, emphatic typographic color, making the face particularly attention-grabbing at display sizes. The pointed, wedge-like serifs are a key identifying feature and contribute to crisp word shapes, especially in all-caps settings.
