A sturdy serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and clearly bracketed joins, giving stems a subtly swelling, carved quality. The letterforms are compact and weighty with firm vertical emphasis, rounded bowls, and a consistent, even rhythm across the alphabet. Serifs read as tapered rather than slabby, and terminals are generally crisp, with occasional softly cupped curves on letters like C and S. Numerals are robust and traditional in proportion, matching the strong color and steady spacing of the text sample.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where a strong serif voice is desired, such as headlines, cover typography, pull quotes, and section openers. It can also serve branding and packaging that calls for a classic, authoritative tone, and will hold up well in short text blocks where its dense color and shaped serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, projecting authority and seriousness without becoming overly ornate. Its confident weight and shaped serifs suggest a bookish, institutional character suited to formal communication and classic publishing aesthetics.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif presence with added character through flared, sculptural stroke shaping—combining traditional proportions with a bold, contemporary firmness for impactful reading and strong typographic hierarchy.
Capitals are broad and stately with strong top serifs, while lowercase forms keep a controlled, text-forward stance and clear differentiation between similar shapes. The design maintains a consistent dark typographic color, favoring solidity over delicacy, and the flared detailing adds warmth and tactility compared to a more mechanical serif.
