A very heavy serif with pronounced bracketed, flared terminals that give the strokes a sculpted, tapered finish rather than blunt slab endings. The letterforms are broad and generously proportioned, with compact internal counters in many glyphs that create strong black density. Curves are full and steady, joins are smooth, and the overall rhythm is sturdy and even, with a traditional serif structure carried through both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals match the strong, weighty color and read as solid, display-oriented figures.
Best suited for display work where a strong, traditional voice is needed—headlines, mastheads, book and magazine covers, and high-impact branding. It can also serve in short editorial callouts or pull quotes where the heavy color and flared serifs are meant to be part of the visual statement.
The font projects an assertive, old-world confidence—formal and dignified with a slightly engraved, institutional feel. Its heavy color and flared finishing lend a sense of tradition and authority, while the broad proportions keep it bold and declarative rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model by increasing mass and width while using flared, bracketed terminals to preserve a refined, heritage character. It aims for maximum presence and legibility at display sizes, delivering an authoritative tone without resorting to slab-like bluntness.
In text settings, the dense weight and tight counters create a commanding typographic color that favors larger sizes and shorter line lengths. The lowercase shows a conventional bookish skeleton (two-storey a and g) with sturdy serifs and emphatic terminals that maintain a consistent, monumental tone across words.
