A robust serif with sculpted, flared terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that broaden into the stroke endings. Letterforms are compact and sturdy, with rounded bowls and a steady, moderately modulated stroke that gives counters a dark, even texture in text. The uppercase shows strong vertical stress and confident proportions, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with prominent ascenders and firm, wedge-like finishing on many strokes. Numerals are weighty and well integrated with the letters, with clear shapes that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, editorial titling, book covers, and branding where a strong serif presence is desirable. It can also work for short blocks of text or pull quotes when a dark, authoritative typographic color is needed, but its weight and pronounced terminals are most effective in display contexts.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial voice. Its dark color and sculpted details feel established and confident, lending a slightly historic, print-forward character rather than a minimalist or contemporary one.
Designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra visual strength, using flared, bracketed endings to add warmth and craft while maintaining a disciplined, print-like rhythm. The intent appears to balance traditional readability with headline-level impact.
At larger sizes the flared endings and bracket transitions become a key visual feature, creating a carved, calligraphic impression without appearing handwritten. The heavy presence produces strong emphasis and impact, especially in capitals and headline settings.
