A sturdy serif with flared, bracketed terminals and a confident, compact rhythm. Strokes are broadly even with gentle contrast, and many joins swell slightly before tapering into wedge-like serifs, giving the forms a carved, ink-friendly feel. Counters are relatively tight and the rounds are full, producing dense, dark text color. The lowercase shows a strong, workmanlike structure with a two-storey g, pronounced beaks/ears on several letters, and numerals that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short-to-medium passages where a strong, classic serif presence is desirable. It works well in editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, posters, and packaging that needs a traditional, authoritative voice and high impact at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a bookish, institutional voice. Its heavy presence and flared endings suggest classic print authority—suited to serious, declarative messaging rather than light, airy branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif impression with extra solidity and distinctive flared terminals, creating a bold, ink-forward texture that remains legible and composed in display settings.
In running text, the face builds a strong horizontal texture: firm verticals, short serifs, and compact spacing create a cohesive block. The punctuation and figures match the weight of the letters, supporting consistent emphasis in headlines and pull quotes.
