A sturdy serif with heavy, low‑contrast strokes and gently flared, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are compact and bracketed, with a slightly sheared, carved quality that gives corners a crisp bite without becoming a slab. Counters are generous for the weight, and curves (C, O, S) stay smooth and controlled, while joins and apertures show subtle shaping that helps keep forms open at display sizes. The lowercase is solid and workmanlike, with a single-storey g and a strong, squared-off rhythm through n, m, and u; numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short blocks of text where a strong typographic voice is desirable—magazine titles, editorial pull quotes, book covers, and poster typography. It can also work for branding systems that need a classic serif feel with extra weight and presence.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that feels grounded and institutional. Its flared endings add a touch of crafted, engraved character, balancing formality with a faintly human, inked presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif impression with added punch and durability, using flared terminals and compact bracketed serifs to maintain clarity and a crafted texture at display sizes.
At large sizes the font reads as compact and emphatic, with short serifs and sturdy stems creating a strong horizontal/vertical structure. The punctuation and dots appear bold and prominent, matching the overall color and reinforcing its headline-forward presence.
