A heavy, upright serif with subtly flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that broaden the ends of strokes without becoming slab-like. Strokes are largely even in weight with minimal contrast, producing a dense, steady texture in text. Proportions are sturdy and slightly compact, with wide, round bowls (C, O, Q) and squared shoulders and arms that keep forms crisp. Lowercase shapes are robust with open counters and strong, vertical stress; the numerals are similarly weighty and built for prominence, with clear, simple construction.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a strong, classic serif impact is desired. It can work well for editorial titling, brand marks, packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, traditional tone with modern solidity.
The overall tone is confident and emphatic, combining a traditional serif voice with a contemporary, punchy presence. It reads as authoritative and practical rather than delicate, giving headlines a dependable, editorial feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a powerful serif presence with a stable reading rhythm, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to add character while keeping the letterforms straightforward and highly legible at larger sizes.
At display sizes the broad joins and flared stroke endings become a defining detail, adding warmth and a carved, engraved impression. The bold color and relatively tight internal spacing create a strong typographic “block” that holds attention, especially in short phrases.
