A sturdy serif with pronounced, bracketed joins and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Strokes are weighty with moderate contrast, and terminals finish in sharp, tapered wedges rather than blunt cuts, producing a confident, rhythmic texture in text. Proportions lean toward compact, with relatively large counters and clear interior shapes, while capitals feel broad-shouldered and stable. The lowercase shows strong vertical emphasis and firm arches, with a single-storey “g” and compact, rounded bowls that keep word shapes dense and cohesive.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also work for editorial applications such as magazine features, book covers, and pull quotes, where its dense color and crisp serifs help establish hierarchy and a classic tone. For branding, it fits identities that benefit from heritage or institutional cues.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, suggesting tradition and authority without feeling overly delicate. Its sharp wedge serifs and flared finishes add a hint of craft and ceremony, giving it a slightly old-world, print-forward personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra emphasis and a distinctive flare at stroke endings, balancing readability with a bold, attention-holding silhouette for display and editorial use.
At larger sizes the wedge-like serifs and pointed terminals become a defining graphic feature, especially on diagonals and curved joins. In paragraph settings the heavy color creates a strong typographic presence, lending headlines and short blocks of text a weighty, editorial cadence.
