A robust serif with bracketed, slightly flared stroke endings and a sculpted, inked-in look. Strokes are firmly weighted with moderate contrast, and many joins show softened transitions that give counters a carved, print-like presence. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and traditional with broad proportions and steady vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable rhythm with prominent serifs and rounded shoulders. Numerals are weighty and highly legible, matching the text color and serif treatment of the letters.
Works well for headlines and short paragraphs where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. It suits editorial layouts, book covers, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a sturdy, classic tone and a dense, high-impact text color.
The overall tone is classic and editorial—confident, serious, and a bit old-style without feeling delicate. Its strong blackness and flared details convey authority and tradition, making it feel at home in bookish and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by adding flared stroke endings and sculpted joins, creating a bold, print-forward texture that holds up in prominent typographic roles.
Serif shapes read as bracketing rather than slab, and several terminals widen subtly into the ends, contributing to a slightly engraved, stamped, or ink-trap-like impression at display sizes. The texture in running text is dark and steady, favoring emphasis and presence over lightness.
