A sturdy serif with broad proportions and pronounced, flaring terminals that give stems a subtly sculpted, wedge-like finish. Curves are full and weighty, counters are moderately open, and joins read smooth rather than sharply mechanical, keeping the texture even in continuous text. Serifs are generously sized and softly bracketed, producing a stable baseline and a consistent, dark typographic color. Figures and capitals feel substantial and slightly condensed in their inner spaces, reinforcing a strong, print-forward presence.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and display settings where a strong serif presence is needed. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial text—introductions, pull quotes, and packaging copy—when a darker, more emphatic page color is desirable. The distinctive flared endings make it useful for branding and titles that need a classic but forceful voice.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a distinctly editorial voice that feels established and trustworthy. Its strong serifs and heavy color suggest seriousness and authority, while the softened shaping keeps it from feeling brittle or overly formal.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif structure with extra weight and character through flared, bracketed terminals, producing a bold editorial texture that holds up in large sizes and remains coherent in text.
In the sample text, the font maintains a dense, steady rhythm with clear word shapes and a solid line of text, favoring impact over airiness. Rounded letters remain quite full, and the flare at stroke endings adds a subtle calligraphic cue without becoming decorative.
