A robust serif with pronounced, wedge-like flaring into the terminals and compact bracketed serifs that read clearly at display sizes. The strokes are heavy and steady, with moderate contrast and broadly rounded bowls that keep counters open despite the weight. Uppercase forms feel roomy and stable, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with rounded joins and occasional ball-like terminals, producing a cohesive, slightly old-style texture. Numerals are solid and high-impact, matching the letterforms with strong verticals and rounded curves.
This font excels in headlines, deck copy, and poster typography where its strong serifs and flared terminals can carry personality at size. It’s well suited to magazine mastheads, book covers, and branding that wants a classic, established voice with substantial weight and presence.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, combining a bookish, institutional feel with a contemporary punch from the heavy weight. It conveys trust and seriousness without becoming delicate, making it feel confident, grounded, and editorial.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif conventions with emphatic, flared terminals to create a bold display face that feels both traditional and impactful. Its forms prioritize a memorable silhouette and confident texture for editorial and branding-led typography.
The flared stroke endings and compact serifs create a distinctive silhouette that stays recognizable in large headlines. Spacing appears generous enough for display settings, and the rounded shapes help maintain legibility in dense blocks at larger sizes.
