This typeface is a robust serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a sculpted, flared treatment where stems broaden into wedge-like endings. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into pointed tips, giving the outlines a crisp, carved look rather than a blunt slab feel. Proportions are generous with open counters and substantial curves; rounds (C, O, Q) are smooth and full, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) terminate in distinctive triangular points. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with a two-storey a and g, a relatively small ear on g, and a short, firm r; numerals are heavy and formal, with clear differentiation and strong top/bottom emphasis.
It performs best in headlines, editorial display, and attention-grabbing subheads where the strong contrast and pointed terminals can be appreciated. It also suits book covers and branding that calls for a classic, authoritative voice with a sharper, more sculptural edge.
The overall tone is stately and editorial, combining traditional serif familiarity with a slightly dramatic, chiseled finish. It conveys authority and seriousness, with enough sharpness in the terminals to feel energetic and emphatic rather than purely restrained.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on a traditional serif, using flared stroke endings and crisp, pointed terminals to heighten impact while maintaining conventional letter skeletons for familiarity. It aims for confident readability in display settings and a distinctive, engraved-like texture in larger blocks of text.
At text sizes the heavy color and flared stroke endings create a strong rhythm and pronounced vertical emphasis, making word shapes feel compact and weighty. The punctuation and dots (i/j) appear bold and round, reinforcing the dense texture in running text.
