A robust serif with clearly bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a compact, strongly built silhouette. Strokes show gentle modulation and soft transitions rather than razor-thin hairlines, giving the letterforms a sturdy, printed feel. Counters are generously opened and curves are full, while joins and interior corners often round subtly, contributing to an ink-friendly rhythm. Uppercase forms read broad and stable, and lowercase has a solid, traditional construction with a two-storey “a,” a prominent, ball-like “i/j” dot, and compact serifs that keep texture dense in running lines. Numerals are heavy and straightforward, with rounded bowls and firm verticals that match the overall mass and cadence.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and typographic statements where a dark, confident serif texture is desired. It also fits editorial settings—magazine features, book covers, and chapter openers—where warmth and tradition are helpful. Branding for heritage-leaning products or institutions can benefit from its sturdy, flared finishing and strong presence.
The tone is authoritative and old-world without feeling delicate—more editorial and heritage than ornamental. Its weight and flared finishing give it a confident, slightly nostalgic presence that suggests established institutions, classic print, and dependable craftsmanship.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra visual solidity, using flared terminals and softened joins to create a sturdy, ink-friendly texture that remains readable and distinctive in display and editorial contexts.
The design balances strong vertical presence with softened details: terminals widen subtly, serifs feel carved rather than sharp, and internal shaping stays open enough to preserve legibility at display-to-text crossover sizes. The overall texture is dark and even, making it especially effective when set with ample leading or in short-to-medium blocks.
