A robust serif with sculpted, flared stroke terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and slightly rounded, giving the joins a carved, transitional feel rather than a hard slab. Counters are open and generously proportioned, while the overall set reads broad in the caps with steady, upright construction and strong vertical emphasis. Lowercase forms keep a conventional silhouette with a compact, sturdy rhythm and a single-storey “g,” contributing to a slightly oldstyle-leaning texture even in heavier settings.
It performs especially well in headlines and editorial settings where strong contrast and sculpted serifs can carry personality. The sturdy, traditional forms suit book covers, mastheads, and brand identities that need gravitas, and it can also support short blocks of text where a dense, authoritative texture is desired.
The tone is classic and institutional, with a confident, editorial presence that feels suited to established voices. Its high-contrast shaping and flared finishing add a touch of drama and ceremony, balancing warmth with formality for an authoritative, traditional mood.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added punch: flared terminals and strong contrast provide a distinctive display character without abandoning familiar, readable letterforms. The goal seems to be a dependable, classic framework that still feels energetic and emphatic in prominent typography.
At text sizes the font produces a dense, even color with clear word shapes, while in display sizes the flared terminals and bracket transitions become a defining detail. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the weight and contrast of the letters for consistent emphasis in headings and callouts.
