A robust serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, carved feel. The letterforms are wide-set with generous internal counters and a steady, medium-contrast modulation that stays consistent across the alphabet. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places (notably in bowls), while joins and terminals favor softened transitions rather than sharp cuts. Overall rhythm is sturdy and even, with confident verticals and ample presence in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium text where a strong typographic voice is desired, such as magazine features, book covers, posters, and brand wordmarks. The wide proportions and weighty presence also make it effective for pull quotes, section openers, and other editorial emphasis.
The tone reads classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition without feeling overly delicate. Its strong color and confident proportions suggest a dependable, institutional voice—suited to serious, established brands and text that needs to feel grounded.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with extra weight and width, combining traditional construction with flared finishing to enhance warmth and impact. It aims for strong readability and a confident texture that holds up at larger sizes while remaining coherent in continuous text.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and stable, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and substantial counters. Numerals are bold and display-friendly, with clear silhouettes that match the heavy, confident texture of the letters.
