A sturdy serif with pronounced flared, bracketed stroke endings that broaden gently into the terminals, producing a dense, even typographic color. Curves are full and round, while joins and corners stay crisp; counters are moderately open, and spacing feels compact without becoming cramped. The uppercase shows strong, stable proportions with traditional serif structure, while the lowercase mixes rounded forms with occasional ball-like terminals and a sturdy, slightly compressed rhythm. Numerals are weighty and clear, matching the heavy vertical emphasis and consistent stroke logic across the set.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial titling where its dense color and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also support brand marks, packaging, and display typography that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness and a slightly monumental presence. Its heavy, steady rhythm reads as established and trustworthy rather than delicate or playful, making it feel suitable for sober, authoritative messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added strength and character through flared terminals, balancing classic proportions with a more assertive, contemporary display weight. It aims to stay readable in text while projecting presence and gravitas in titles.
In text, the font maintains strong legibility through consistent stroke weight and clear differentiation between letter shapes, while the flared terminals add a subtle calligraphic warmth. The design’s compact spacing and strong verticals create a firm, poster-ready presence even in short lines and headlines.
