A sturdy serif with pronounced flared, bracketed terminals and a compact, weighty build. Strokes are broadly consistent with minimal contrast, creating a dense color on the page, while the serifs and joins soften into wedge-like shapes rather than sharp hairlines. Uppercase forms feel wide and stable with generous internal counters (notably in C, O, and G), and the lowercase maintains a readable, conventional structure with a clear two-storey a and single-storey g. Overall spacing and sidebearings read even, supporting strong word shapes in text and display.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a strong serif texture is desired. It can also work for logos, packaging, and signage that benefits from a classic, institutional voice and sturdy letterforms.
The tone is traditional and confident, with a collegiate, newspaper-headline energy. Its chunky presence and flared endings suggest seriousness and reliability, leaning more institutional than delicate or fashionable.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif look with extra impact, using flared terminals and low-contrast strokes to keep forms bold and legible. It emphasizes presence and stability over delicacy, aiming for a dependable, traditional typographic character in display and short text settings.
The numerals are heavy and clear, matching the letters’ solid rhythm and making them suitable for settings where figures need to stand up in the same visual voice as the text. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent, upright texture with prominent serifs that remain visible at larger sizes.
