A sturdy serif with broad, slightly flared stems and pronounced bracketed serifs that create a sculpted, carved-in feel. The weight distribution is even and confident, with moderate modulation and rounded joins that soften the heavy color. Many strokes finish in teardrop or ball-like terminals, especially in the lowercase, while counters stay relatively open for a bold design. The lowercase shows a compact rhythm with short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders and a clear, readable texture; numerals are strong and oldstyle-leaning in spirit, with distinctive curves and angled terminals.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial text where a dense, authoritative serif texture is an asset. It can also work well on covers, posters, and packaging that benefit from a traditional, premium tone and strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish presence that suggests tradition and credibility. Its bold color and flared details add a slightly dramatic, headline-forward voice without feeling ornamental or playful.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, traditional serif voice with added warmth and distinction via flared stroke endings and rounded terminal details. It balances classic proportions with a heavier, attention-grabbing texture for display-led typography.
Uppercase forms read as stately and stable, with wide bowls and decisive horizontals, while the lowercase brings more character through curved shoulders and prominent terminal shaping. The sample text demonstrates strong word-shape and a consistent dark gray value, making it effective for impactful setting where a confident serif texture is desired.
