A robust serif with pronounced flaring into the terminals and compact, wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate contrast and smooth, bracketed transitions into serifs, producing a slightly calligraphic, sculpted rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and apertures tend to close up, while round forms stay steady and weighty. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and a sturdy, slightly condensed internal spacing that keeps texture dark and even in paragraphs.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial layouts where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also serve long-form reading in print-oriented settings when a dark, traditional texture is acceptable, and it works effectively for branding that calls for heritage and authority.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a stately, bookish presence. Its dark color and flared endings suggest tradition and seriousness, lending a sense of ceremony that reads well in editorial and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif conventions with a more sculptural, flared-stem treatment, emphasizing presence and readability through strong silhouettes and a consistent, weighty texture.
At text sizes the face creates a strong, ink-rich page color; spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for a dense, uniform texture. Figures match the heavy, sculpted character of the letters and maintain clear silhouettes for display and subhead use.
