A robust serif with pronounced, subtly flared stroke endings and crisp bracketed serifs that read clearly at display sizes. The letterforms are broad and steady, with compact internal apertures balanced by open counters and a firm baseline. Curves are smoothly drawn and the joins stay clean, while terminals often finish with a slight wedge-like expansion that gives the strokes a sculpted, chiseled feel. Numerals are sturdy and traditional in stance, matching the capitals’ strong presence and the lowercase’s even rhythm.
This font performs best in headlines, deck copy, and other prominent text where its flared terminals and strong serif structure can be appreciated. It also suits magazine layouts, book covers, and branding work that needs a traditional foundation with extra visual bite. For longer text, it can provide a dense, authoritative page color when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, combining a classic serif sensibility with a slightly sharpened, contemporary edge. It feels authoritative and composed—well-suited to statements that should look established and deliberate rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold editorial voice: a classic serif framework enhanced by flared stroke endings and sharp detailing to create impact in display typography while retaining a familiar, bookish readability.
Round letters (like O/C) maintain a controlled, near-geometric structure, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) appear decisive and angular. The lowercase keeps a readable, steady texture in paragraph-like settings, and the expanded terminals add a distinctive signature without becoming ornamental.
