A sturdy serif with compact, sculpted letterforms and gently flared stroke endings that widen into bracketed serifs. Curves are full and weighty, with low visible contrast and a steady, even color in text. Terminals often finish in wedge-like or subtly teardrop shapes, giving joins and corners a carved, slightly ink-trap-like crispness. Counters are relatively tight in letters like B, e, and a, while the caps are broad and stable with strong horizontals and confident diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and editorial typography where a strong, classic serif tone is needed. It should perform well for magazine titles, book-cover typography, and brand marks that want traditional authority with a slightly carved, tactile edge.
The font projects an editorial, heritage tone—serious and assured without feeling fragile or overly formal. Its flared serifs and dense rhythm suggest traditional print craftsmanship, lending a grounded, institutional voice that still reads warm and contemporary when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, print-oriented serif voice with flared, sculptural detailing—aiming for strong readability and a distinctive, crafted texture rather than delicate refinement.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at display sizes, where the sculpted terminals and flare details become a defining texture. The numerals appear robust and clear, matching the letterforms’ dense proportions and emphasizing a solid, headline-ready presence.
