A robust serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and distinctly flared terminals that swell into bracketed serifs. Stems are thick and steady, counters are generous, and the overall texture is dark but even, aided by open apertures and clear interior shapes. The lowercase shows a traditional, oldstyle-leaning structure (two-storey a and g) with compact joins and firm, squared-off serif feet, while round letters like o and e stay full and stable. Numerals are heavy and readable with simple, sturdy forms and clear differentiation.
Well suited to headlines and large-scale editorial typography where a strong, traditional serif presence is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from an authoritative, established tone, and works effectively for posters or title treatments needing a dense, impactful text color.
The tone is confident and editorial, combining a classic bookish voice with a poster-ready presence. Its flared endings and dense color suggest tradition and credibility, while the wide stance adds a bold, declarative feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with added weight and breadth for modern display use, using flared, bracketed endings to keep forms warm and traditional while maintaining strong visibility and impact.
Serifs are consistently bracketed and slightly tapered into the stems, creating a carved, engraved impression without sharp contrast. The rhythm favors solidity over delicacy, with strong vertical emphasis and ample counters that help maintain clarity at display sizes.
