A heavy, upright serif with pronounced wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into the terminals. The color is dense and even, with moderate contrast that keeps thick strokes dominant while preserving sharp, clean joins. Counters are compact but not cramped, and the forms lean on sturdy, traditional proportions with a steady baseline rhythm. Numerals share the same weighty presence and serif treatment, producing a cohesive, emphatic texture in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, covers, and pull quotes where a forceful serif presence is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that needs a classic, trustworthy tone, and it can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes where its dense color and wedge serifs remain clear.
The font reads as traditional and commanding, projecting a dependable, institutional tone. Its bold, sculpted serifs add a sense of heritage and gravitas while staying crisp and contemporary enough for modern editorial layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif voice with flared, wedge-like finishing that increases impact and legibility in display contexts. Its consistent, sturdy construction suggests a focus on strong typographic authority rather than delicate refinement.
Across both uppercase and lowercase, the design emphasizes strong verticals and decisive terminals, creating a confident headline voice. The overall impression is more carved and emphatic than delicate, with details that hold up well in large setting.
