A sturdy serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that widen out from the stems. The texture is dense and even, with broad, confident strokes and rounded transitions that keep curves smooth and readable. Capitals are wide and stable with generous bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase shows compact, workmanlike forms with clear apertures and a moderate x-height. Terminals often finish with slight angled or wedge-like shaping, giving the letterforms a carved, old-style solidity without relying on high contrast.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a strong, classic serif voice is needed, and it can also serve longer passages in print when set with ample leading. It fits institutional branding, cultural titles, and packaging that benefits from traditional authority and a robust typographic presence.
The overall tone feels traditional and dependable, combining academic seriousness with a warm, bookish familiarity. Its weight and flared detailing add a sense of gravitas suited to formal communication, while the open counters keep it approachable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with added firmness and character via flared, wedge-like endings. It aims for high impact and steady rhythm, prioritizing legibility and a confident, established tone over delicate contrast or ornamental detail.
The numerals match the text color closely, appearing solid and readable with consistent stroke treatment; curved figures like 2, 3, 5, and 9 show the same rounded, slightly sheared terminal character seen in the letters. In running text the font produces a strong, dark rhythm, making it most comfortable at sizes where its sturdy details can breathe.
