A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs. Strokes are clean and sharply finished, with a relatively compact lowercase and a moderate x-height that keeps counters tight in smaller shapes. The design mixes rounded, weighty bowls with crisp joins and bracketed transitions, producing a lively rhythm across words. Figures appear oldstyle (descending 3/5/7/9), reinforcing a traditional text-color despite the strong, headline-ready weight.
Best suited to display and editorial roles such as headlines, deck copy, magazine titling, and book or poster typography where strong contrast and crisp serifs can carry presence. It can also work for short-form text and pull quotes when generous size and spacing preserve the interior counters.
The overall tone feels classical and editorial—confident, traditional, and a bit dramatic due to the high contrast and emphatic terminals. It suggests gravitas and polish, leaning toward bookish authority rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on traditional serif typography, combining classic proportions with assertive contrast and distinctive flared terminals for impact in titles and editorial branding.
In setting, the heavy main strokes and tapered hairlines create a bold texture with clear word shapes, while the flared endings add a calligraphic, carved quality. The italic is not shown; the sample reflects a consistent upright voice across caps and lowercase.
