A robust serif with bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a strongly sculpted silhouette. Strokes show moderate modulation, with rounded joins and softened inside corners that give counters a smooth, carved look. Serifs are relatively short and wedge-like, often beaked on diagonals, producing crisp entry/exit points without feeling slabby. The lowercase has compact apertures and substantial bowls; the overall rhythm is dense and steady, with numerals and capitals built to read as solid, blocky forms at display sizes.
Best used for headlines, mastheads, and other display settings where its heavy, sculpted serifs can deliver authority and character. It can also serve well on book covers and brand wordmarks that aim for a classic, editorial feel, especially when set with generous spacing and strong contrast in layout.
The face conveys a confident, traditional tone—formal and editorial—while the subtle beaks and sculpted terminals add a touch of distinctive, old-style character. Its heavy presence feels authoritative and slightly monumental, suited to messaging that wants weight and gravitas rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by combining sturdy proportions and confident weight with subtly calligraphic, beaked detailing. The result prioritizes impact and a recognizable silhouette in larger sizes, while maintaining familiar serif conventions for a dependable, editorial look.
The capitals are broad and emphatic with strong horizontals (notably in E/F/T) and rounded bowls (B/O/P) that keep the texture even. Diagonal letters like A/V/W/X show pronounced, sharp apexes and beaked terminals, adding sparkle to otherwise hefty forms. The numerals are similarly weighty and designed for impact, with bold curves and clear silhouettes.
