A robust serif with strongly bracketed, flared terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The proportions run broad, with generous bowls and wide capitals, producing a steady, expansive rhythm in text. Serifs read as wedge-like and sculpted rather than rectangular, and curves transition into stems with smooth, calligraphic tension. Counters are moderately open, joins are firm, and the overall color is dark and authoritative, especially in capitals and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where the flared serifs and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, and identity work. It can also serve as a distinctive editorial typeface for short passages, pull quotes, and section openers where a strong, traditional voice is desired.
The tone feels classic and editorial, with a vintage, poster-like authority. Its flared finishing and dramatic contrast suggest tradition and gravitas while still reading energetic and assertive in headlines.
Designed to deliver a commanding serif voice with sculpted terminals and wide proportions, balancing classical influence with display impact. The consistent, flared finishing and emphatic contrast appear intended to create a memorable, print-forward texture in titles and prominent text.
Round characters show noticeable stroke contrast and slightly flattened stress, while diagonals keep a strong, chiseled presence. The lowercase maintains a conventional silhouette with a steady x-height, and the numerals match the heavy, sculpted feel for cohesive titling and display settings.
