A robust serif with pronounced contrast and sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. The serifs read as strongly bracketed and slightly tapered, giving stems a carved, engraved feel while keeping contours crisp and controlled. Proportions skew broad with generous set-widths in many capitals, and the overall rhythm is steady and upright with confident vertical stress. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with tight joins and clear counters; the numerals are similarly weighty and high-contrast, designed to hold their shape at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated—magazine and newspaper headlines, cover typography, posters, and brand marks. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section openers, where a dense, authoritative typographic color is desirable.
The face conveys a traditional, editorial seriousness with a touch of theatrical punch. Its strong contrast and flared finishing give it a dignified, headline-forward voice that feels established and institutional rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif conventions with a more sculptural, flared finish, delivering a traditional voice that still feels distinctive in contemporary editorial and branding layouts. It prioritizes impact and typographic color over neutrality, aiming for confident presence at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the weight and contrast create dark, authoritative lines with a prominent texture; the flaring terminals help avoid overly blunt endings while still reading as emphatic. The ampersand is notably bold and decorative, reinforcing the display-oriented personality.
