A sturdy serif design with gently flared terminals and bracketed serifs that give the strokes a sculpted, carved feel. Stems are relatively thick and steady, with smooth joins and rounded inside curves, creating a calm, readable rhythm in text. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while the lowercase keeps compact, sturdy proportions and open counters; the overall texture is dark and even, with crisp edges and a traditional serif silhouette.
It performs well for magazines, book typography, and long-form editorial where a firm, traditional voice is desired. The substantial strokes also suit headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications—especially where a classic, premium feel is important.
The font projects a classic, editorial tone—confident and traditional without feeling delicate. Its weighty presence and flared detailing suggest authority and permanence, making it feel at home in established, print-forward contexts.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with subtly flared stroke endings to add warmth and distinctiveness. It aims for a dependable reading texture while retaining enough character to stand out in titles and identity work.
In running text the spacing and proportions create a strong, consistent color, while the numerals match the letterforms’ solidity and traditional stance. The overall impression is of a text-first serif with display-capable heft for headings.
