A sturdy serif with pronounced, flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that read as beaked on several capitals. Strokes are heavy and confident with moderate contrast, rounded joins, and generously open counters that keep the dense weight from clogging. The lowercase shows a broad, readable texture with compact, slightly squared terminals and a clear, traditional serif rhythm; the numerals are similarly weighty and evenly paced for strong presence in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its heavy color and flared serifs create immediate impact. It also fits branding and packaging that want a classic, trustworthy voice, and can work in short text passages where strong serif rhythm and open counters aid readability.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, projecting authority and familiarity while staying approachable rather than austere. Its broad shapes and flared details add a warm, slightly old-style character suited to confident headlines and heritage-leaning branding.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif conventions with a more muscular, contemporary footprint, using flared endings and generous proportions to create both distinction and clarity. It aims for a dependable, print-forward presence that feels at home in editorial and brand settings.
Capitals are wide and stable with a strong horizontal emphasis, while curved letters (C, G, O, Q) maintain smooth, full bowls and crisp serif finishes. The design holds up well at display sizes, where the flaring and beaks become a defining stylistic cue.
