A robust serif with flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that broaden out from the stems. The overall drawing is low-contrast with confident, heavy main strokes and rounded inner counters that keep the texture open at display sizes. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady rhythm across capitals and lowercase; terminals are clean and slightly sculpted, giving a carved, ink-trap-free silhouette. Numerals are sturdy and legible, with simple forms and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to headlines, editorial titling, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice is desired with extra weight for impact. It can also serve branding and packaging applications that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy tone and sturdy letterforms.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking print editorial typography and institutional signage. Its weight and flared detailing add a sense of permanence and seriousness, while the rounded counters prevent it from feeling overly rigid or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif impression with added mass and flared endings for confident display performance. It prioritizes clarity and a stable, print-like rhythm, aiming for a timeless, authoritative feel rather than delicate refinement.
Caps read strongly with stable, wide curves (notably in C, G, and O) and solid horizontal stress, while the lowercase maintains a familiar book-face pattern with a straightforward two-storey a and single-storey g. The punctuation and dots appear substantial, reinforcing the font’s emphasis on clarity and presence.
