A sturdy serif with pronounced, flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that give stems a subtly sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs are strongly bracketed and often sharpen into beaks on letters like C, E, and S, producing crisp entry and exit points rather than blunt slabs. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and a slightly condensed rhythm in text; counters stay open but feel weighty due to the thick strokes. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a rightward-curving beak on f, and a narrow, vertical emphasis throughout; numerals are robust and old-style in spirit with distinctive angled terminals.
Best suited to headlines, editorial titling, book covers, and display typography where a dense, authoritative serif voice is desired. It can also work for branding systems that want a classic foundation with extra bite in the terminals and serifs, and for short text passages where a strong typographic color is acceptable.
The tone is assertive and classic, combining a bookish, traditional serif presence with a more theatrical edge from the flared terminals and sharp beaks. It reads as authoritative and slightly dramatic, suited to designs that want heritage cues without feeling overly delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif framework with added emphasis at stroke endings, using flared terminals and beaked details to increase character and impact. It prioritizes a strong, dark typographic color and expressive finishing over neutrality, aiming for confident display performance and traditional editorial cues.
In running text the heavy color creates strong texture and punch, especially at larger sizes where the sculpted terminals and bracketing become more expressive. The capitals feel monumental and steady, while the lowercase maintains a tight, energetic rhythm that helps headings look compact and emphatic.
