A robust serif with bracketed, subtly flared terminals and compact, sturdy proportions. Strokes are confident and mostly even, with gentle modulation and smooth transitions into the serifs, producing a solid, readable texture. Round letters are full and stable, while diagonals and joins stay clean and controlled; counters are moderately open for clarity at display sizes. The lowercase shows a traditional two‑storey a and g, with short, firm serifs and a slightly lively rhythm across widths.
Best suited to headlines and prominent text where its sturdy serifs and strong presence can carry a page. It works well for editorial titling, book covers, posters, and branding systems that want a classic, institutional voice and clear letterforms.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with a polished, institutional character. Its weight and sturdy serifs give it a dependable, formal presence suited to classic publishing and heritage-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra weight and flared finishing for emphasis, balancing traditional forms with strong legibility and an assertive typographic color in larger sizes.
The capitals read broad and steady, with strong horizontals and well-anchored feet that help lines sit firmly. Numerals appear heavy and straightforward, matching the font’s display-oriented emphasis and maintaining consistent color alongside the letters.
