A sturdy serif with prominent, gently flared stroke endings and bracketed joins that soften the transitions into serifs. The strokes are heavy and even in color, with modest modulation and rounded interior curves that keep counters open at display sizes. Proportions lean slightly wide with calm, upright construction; terminals and serifs feel sculpted rather than sharply cut, giving the letterforms a carved, print-forward presence. Uppercase forms read solid and stately, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and clear, pragmatic details that maintain legibility under weight.
Well suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, and bold pull quotes where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone, especially in display and subhead sizes where its flared detailing is most visible.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a warm, editorial seriousness. Its heft and sculpted flare suggest authority without looking brittle, balancing a bookish classicism with a contemporary, headline-ready punch.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif impression with extra mass and sculpted flare for high-impact display use. The emphasis appears to be on creating a durable, print-like texture and confident readability rather than delicate refinement.
The numerals and caps share the same weighty rhythm and softened serif behavior, producing a cohesive texture across mixed-case settings. The sample text shows strong word shapes and a dense, poster-like color that favors larger sizes and shorter line lengths.
