A robust serif with flared stroke terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like endings. Strokes show moderate contrast with sturdy verticals and smoothly tapered joins, producing a confident texture. The capitals are wide and stately with generous counters, while the lowercase balances a traditional, readable structure with a moderate x-height and compact apertures. Numerals are strong and conventional, matching the typeface’s solid color and steady rhythm in text.
Well suited to editorial and book typography where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers. Its sturdy forms and assertive serifs can support branding and packaging that aims for heritage, credibility, or a classic premium impression.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition without feeling delicate. Its dark, even presence reads as serious and dependable, suited to content that benefits from a composed, established voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, text-and-display serif with a distinctive flared finish, combining traditional proportions with a darker, more contemporary weight for emphasis and presence.
The flaring at stroke ends and the pronounced bracketing give the design a subtly calligraphic underpinning, helping large sizes feel sculpted while maintaining a coherent, dense page color. Curves and diagonals stay firm rather than soft, which reinforces a crisp, institutional feel in headings and display settings.
