A robust serif with strongly flared, wedge-like stroke endings and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The serifs often form sharp triangular points, while many lowercase letters use soft, bulbous or teardrop terminals (notably on c, e, f, r, and y), creating a distinctive mix of crisp and rounded details. Curves are generously proportioned and the counters stay fairly open for the weight, while joins and inner corners show a subtly chiseled, slightly sheared feel that reinforces the carved, display-forward construction. Numerals and capitals share the same assertive wedge-serif language, producing a bold, rhythmic silhouette with clear vertical emphasis and compact internal spaces.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster typography, title treatments, and impactful branding. It can also work well on packaging and book covers where a classic, crafted voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the terminal detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, with a vintage editorial flavor that feels both classic and attention-grabbing. Its flared, carved-like details add a touch of heritage and craft, while the heavy presence reads as premium and authoritative rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through flared serifs, strong contrast, and sculpted terminals, echoing traditional engraved or woodtype-inspired forms while maintaining a polished, contemporary consistency for modern editorial and branding use.
In the sample text, the bold weight and flared terminals create strong word shapes and lively texture, especially in punctuation and round letters. The pronounced terminals can visually connect across tight settings, so it benefits from comfortable tracking and ample leading in longer passages.
