A robust serif with sculpted, flared terminals and strongly bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a clear, traditional modulation: heavier verticals and fuller joins with slightly tapered entries and exits that create a carved, inked feel rather than a mechanical one. Counters are generous and round in letters like O and Q, while the overall rhythm remains steady and weighty; numerals match the text color with similarly flared finishing strokes and compact, confident forms.
Best suited to headlines and prominent text where its flared serifs and weight can read as intentional character rather than noise. It also works well for book covers, magazine titles, and branding systems that want a traditional, authoritative serif with extra personality; it can be used for short-to-medium passages when a dense, editorial color is desired.
The tone is stately and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a more emphatic, display-ready presence. Its flared endings and sharp internal corners add a sense of craft and authority, giving text a confident, institutional voice without feeling cold.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif voice by emphasizing flared, wedge-like terminals and sturdy proportions, producing a strong typographic color for editorial and display settings. It aims for readability with presence: open counters and familiar serif structures, paired with more sculptural stroke endings for distinction.
In sample text, the font holds together as a dense, high-impact texture with strong word shapes. The italic is not shown; all forms appear upright, with pronounced triangular serifs and noticeable tapering on diagonals (notably in V, W, X, and Y) that reinforces the chiseled character.
