A robust serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that give the strokes a chiseled, carved feel. The forms show moderate stroke modulation and a steady, upright axis, with broad proportions and generous counters that keep the texture open at display sizes. Curves are smooth and weighty, while joins and shoulders stay crisp, producing a strong rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and presence, reading as solid, editorial figures rather than delicate text numerals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper display, book-cover titling, posters, and brand marks that need a classic yet forceful serif voice. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels classic and authoritative, with an old-style warmth tempered by a bold, modern confidence. Its flared endings and sturdy silhouettes suggest a crafted, print-forward sensibility—serious, literary, and a bit monumental.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif credibility with a more sculptural, flared-stroke character for strong display impact. It prioritizes presence and distinctive word shapes, aiming for an editorial, heritage-leaning look that remains highly legible at large sizes.
The lowercase shows pronounced, distinctive silhouettes (notably in letters with diagonals and bowls), creating a lively word shape despite the heavy weight. In continuous setting, the spacing and strong serifs create a dark, even color that favors headlines and short blocks where impact matters.
