A sturdy serif with broad proportions, gently flared stroke endings, and clearly bracketed serifs that keep joins smooth rather than abrupt. Curves are full and round, counters are open, and terminals tend to finish with subtle wedges that reinforce a carved, confident rhythm. The design stays calm and consistent across caps and lowercase, with a traditional two-story “a,” compact joins in “m/n,” and numerals that match the letters’ weight and solidity.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also serve branding and packaging that aims for heritage and trust, and it holds up effectively in larger text blocks when a dense, authoritative color is acceptable.
The overall tone is formal and assured, evoking bookish credibility and institutional polish. Its flared details add a touch of warmth and craft, keeping the voice from feeling purely mechanical while remaining decidedly serious and established.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with modern robustness, using flared endings and bracketed serifs to create a confident, print-forward texture that remains readable and composed.
Capital forms read especially stable and monumental, while lowercase maintains clear word shapes thanks to sturdy stems and generous bowls. The sample text shows strong presence at display sizes, with dark, even texture that favors impact over delicacy.
