A robust serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that create a confident, carved look. The design shows moderate contrast with strong verticals and smoothly transitioning joins, producing a steady, print-forward rhythm. Counters are compact and weighty, while the curves (C, O, S) remain round and controlled rather than calligraphic. The lowercase has sturdy, upright construction with a two-storey a and g, a compact e, and a strong, bracketed shoulder on n and m; numerals are similarly substantial and traditional in feel.
Well-suited for headlines and subheads in magazines, newspapers, and long-form editorial layouts where a strong serif voice is needed. It can anchor book covers and cultural branding, and it works effectively for posters or pull quotes that benefit from a traditional, high-impact typographic presence.
The overall tone is editorial and authoritative, with a classic, institutional character that reads as serious and trustworthy. Its heavy, sculpted detailing adds a slightly old-world, bookish warmth while staying clean and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra visual muscle, using flared, bracketed endings to add distinction and gravitas without moving into slab territory. It emphasizes presence and stability for display-led typography where tone and authority matter as much as legibility.
At display sizes the flared terminals and bracket transitions become a key feature, giving the face a distinctly chiseled presence. The density of the letterforms and relatively tight interior shapes suggest it performs best when given adequate size or leading so the details don’t visually clog.
