A robust serif with broad proportions and strongly flared stroke endings that give stems a subtly expanding, sculpted feel. Serifs are bracketed and rounded rather than sharp, producing soft transitions at joins and a slightly calligraphic, carved-stone rhythm. Curves are generous with large internal counters, while horizontals and diagonals stay sturdy, creating a confident, weighty texture. The overall construction favors clarity at display sizes, with distinctive terminals and a consistent, cohesive silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for headlines, titling, and short passages where its wide stance and sculpted serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers, magazine display typography, and branding systems that need a traditional voice with extra visual weight. In longer text, it will be most effective when given generous leading and comfortable measure.
The font conveys a traditional, ceremonial tone with an assertive presence. Its flared endings and rounded bracketing add warmth and craft, balancing drama with a familiar, classical sensibility. The result feels suited to editorial gravitas—formal but not austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding serif voice that reads as classical and crafted, using flared stroke endings and rounded bracketing to add personality without sacrificing legibility. Its proportions and sturdy shapes suggest an emphasis on impactful display use and a consistent, authoritative typographic color.
The spacing and letterfit read as intentionally open for a wide serif, helping keep dense text from collapsing into a dark mass. Uppercase forms feel especially architectural, while the lowercase retains softness through rounded bowls and tapered, flaring terminals.
