A sturdy serif face with flared terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give stems a broadened, tapered finish. The overall color is dark and even, with smooth curves, generous bowls, and slightly compact apertures that keep forms solid at text sizes. Capitals feel broad-shouldered and stable, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a clear two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a gently hooked “f,” maintaining a consistent, bookish rhythm. Numerals are weighty and readable, with rounded figures like 6/8/9 staying full and balanced.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and headline work where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve branding and institutional communications that benefit from a dependable, heritage-leaning character.
The font conveys an established, institutional tone—confident and serious without feeling ornate. Its flared endings and strong serifs add a subtle classical warmth that suggests tradition, credibility, and formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with added strength and personality through flared stroke endings. It aims for a confident, conventional structure that remains impactful in display while still feeling at home in extended text.
In the sample text, the dense texture and firm serifs produce a strong editorial presence, especially in headings and short paragraphs. The shapes lean toward compact counters and sturdy joins, which prioritizes impact and steadiness over airy openness.
