A sturdy serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that read as carved and slightly tapered rather than sharply cut. The design favors broad, rounded forms and compact internal counters, with a clear weight distribution that feels steady across curves and straights. Uppercase letters show solid verticals and confident, slightly narrowed apertures, while the lowercase keeps a practical, text-oriented build with distinct bowls and a prominent, readable rhythm. Numerals are weighty and traditional in structure, matching the alphabet’s compact, print-like color.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a strong serif texture is desirable. Its sturdy capitals and dark color also suit headlines, title treatments, and identity work that aims for heritage or institutional credibility, including packaging and labels that benefit from a traditional print feel.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a conservative, editorial voice that feels dependable and established. Its flared finishing and rounded shaping add a subtle warmth, keeping it from feeling overly sharp or austere while still remaining formal.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, readable serif with traditional proportions and subtly flared finishing, balancing classic letterforms with a heavier, more assertive presence for contemporary editorial and display use.
In continuous text the face produces a dark, even texture with clear word shapes and noticeable, softly swelling terminals. The capitals carry authority for headings, while the lowercase maintains a familiar, conventional serif cadence suited to longer reading.
