A robust serif with flared, beaked terminals and pronounced bracketing where strokes meet. The design shows a steady vertical stress and a crisp, chiseled finish: curves taper into pointed ends (notably in C, G, S, and e), while straight stems swell subtly toward the terminals. Capitals are broad and steady with confident diagonals (A, V, W) and a strong, sculpted rhythm; lowercase maintains compact counters and firm joins, with a distinctive single-storey g and a curved-shoulder r. Numerals are weighty and traditional, with rounded bowls and sharp, calligraphic entry/exit points.
Best suited to display and larger text settings where the flared terminals and sculpted details can be appreciated—such as headlines, magazine titles, book covers, cultural posters, and heritage-leaning branding. It can work for short editorial passages when ample size and comfortable leading preserve the crisp terminals and dense stroke rhythm.
The overall tone feels classical and institutional, with a carved, editorial seriousness. Its flared endings add a slightly ceremonial, old-world character that reads as literary and authoritative rather than minimalist or technical.
Likely designed to evoke traditional serif authority while adding visual bite through flared, sharpened terminals and strong bracketing. The intention appears to balance readability with a distinctive, carved texture that feels suitable for editorial and cultural typography.
Spacing and shapes favor strong word silhouettes and high-impact headlines, while the tapered terminals and bracketing keep it from feeling rigid. Several forms emphasize pointed, teardrop-like finishing strokes, giving the face a subtle calligraphic edge even in heavy text.
