A robust serif with pronounced, flared stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs that give stems a planted, carved-in feel. Curves are broad and smooth, with moderate modulation and confident joins; the overall rhythm is steady and dense, especially in the heavier caps. Terminals tend to finish with small wedges or soft triangular cues, and counters remain open enough to stay clear at display sizes. The lowercase shows traditional serif structure with compact, sturdy forms, while figures are weighty and visually aligned with the caps.
Well-suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover typography where a strong serif voice is needed. It also fits branding for institutions, publishers, and cultural organizations that want a traditional but forceful typographic signature.
The tone is classic and institutional, leaning toward editorial gravitas rather than delicacy. Its heavy presence and flared detailing evoke bookish authority and a traditional, crafted sensibility suited to serious messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif presence with added energy from flared endings, combining traditional letterforms with a bolder, more emphatic silhouette for display-led reading contexts.
The design reads most distinctive in the capitals and round letters, where the flaring at stroke ends and the firm bracket transitions are most visible. The texture is intentionally dark and even, suggesting a preference for headline and short-text impact over airy refinement.
