A sturdy serif with noticeably flared terminals and bracketed serifs that widen out from the stems, giving strokes a carved, ink-trap-adjacent feel without becoming rustic. The shapes are compact and weighty, with rounded bowls, strong vertical stress, and a slightly condensed footprint that tightens the rhythm in text. Curves transition into stems with firm, sculpted joins; counters stay open enough for legibility, while the overall color remains dark and authoritative. Numerals follow the same chunky, old-style-influenced construction, with generous curves and emphatic entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a dark, traditional texture is desirable. It can support branding and packaging that aim for heritage, craft, or institutional credibility, and works well in poster-style typography where strong silhouettes and flared details can carry from a distance.
The font reads traditional and self-assured, with a bookish, editorial tone and a hint of early-20th-century signage or display typography. Its heavy presence and flared finishing details give it a warm, emphatic voice suited to headlines that want to feel established rather than trendy.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif readability with a more assertive, display-forward presence through flared stroke endings and compact proportions. It emphasizes authority and warmth, offering a classic voice that remains distinctive in titles and prominent text.
Uppercase forms show strong, stable silhouettes and pronounced finishing strokes, while lowercase forms keep a sturdy texture with rounded terminals and firm, slightly calligraphic curvature. The ampersand and punctuation carry the same bold, sculptural treatment, helping the face feel consistent across expressive text settings.
