A sturdy serif with clearly flared stroke endings and pronounced, bracketed serifs that read as sculpted rather than slabby. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate contrast, and the curves have a slightly calligraphic tension—most visible in C, G, S, and the bowls of a, b, d, p. The lowercase is compact and weighty, with a two-storey a and g and a short, strong e; the overall rhythm feels dense and punchy, with rounded counters kept relatively tight. Numerals are bold and traditional in feel, with smooth curves and firm terminals that match the letterforms’ flared finishing.
Best suited to display typography where its dense color and flared detailing can be appreciated—headlines, magazine or newspaper-style titling, packaging labels, and mastheads. It also works well for book covers and prominent pull quotes where a classic, authoritative serif voice is desired.
The font projects a confident, established tone—classic and editorial, with a slightly sporty, collegiate edge due to its bold presence and emphatic serifs. It feels formal enough for serious messaging, but energetic and attention-forward in display settings.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif presence with extra impact, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to add warmth and crafted character without losing firmness. The goal appears to be high visual authority and strong readability at display sizes.
The letterforms show consistent flare logic at terminals and joins, creating a carved, inked-on-paper impression. Round characters lean generously circular (O, Q, 0), while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and emphatic, helping maintain even color at large sizes.
