A sturdy serif with pronounced, wedge-like serifs and noticeably bracketed transitions where strokes meet. The letterforms are built on heavy, confident stems with moderate contrast and a generally vertical stress, giving rounds like O and C a stable, carved feel. Curves are generously rounded and counters are fairly open for the weight, while terminals and serifs flare outward rather than ending bluntly. Proportions feel slightly condensed in the capitals, and the lowercase shows a relatively tall x-height with compact, energetic shapes and short extenders.
Best suited to display sizes where its flared serifs and compact, weighty rhythm can carry impact—such as headlines, book jackets, posters, and branding. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a strong, classic tone is desired, though the dark text color will dominate in longer settings.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with a bookish, old-style sensibility rendered in a heavier, more emphatic voice. It reads as serious and institutional, but the flared endings and rounded forms add warmth and a hint of vintage charm.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra emphasis and presence, combining traditional proportions with flared, bracketed endings to create a strong silhouette and a distinctly editorial texture.
In text, the dense color and compact spacing produce a strong, headline-ready rhythm. Diagonal letters (like V, W, X, Y) appear weighty and stable, and the numerals share the same broad-shouldered, flared detailing, keeping a consistent texture across mixed content.
