A sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden from the stems, giving the letterforms a chiseled, sculptural feel. The design is built on strong verticals and relatively compact proportions, with crisp joins and slightly softened corners that keep the heavy shapes from feeling brittle. Curves are rounded but controlled, counters are moderately open, and several letters show subtle notch-like cut-ins at joins that add bite and help definition at large sizes. Uppercase forms are imposing and blocky, while the lowercase remains compact with a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm and clear, pronounced terminals.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a strong, classic voice is needed—such as posters, book covers, mastheads, and brand marks. It can also support subheads and pull quotes when you want a dense, authoritative texture and prominent serif character.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a collegiate and editorial flavor. Its flared endings and dense presence suggest signage, institutions, and classic print work—confident and formal rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif presence with distinctive flared terminals—evoking carved lettering and heritage display typography while keeping forms compact and highly assertive for attention-grabbing settings.
The numerals are heavy and display-like, with squared-off geometry and strong terminal treatment that matches the letters. The ampersand and punctuation carry the same chunky, carved quality, maintaining consistent weight and rhythm in settings that need impact.
