A heavy, compact serif with softly bracketed, flared terminals and a gently modulated stroke that reads more like broadened endings than sharp hairlines. Curves are full and slightly squarish, with generous interior counters for the weight, and an overall steady, grounded rhythm. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and traditional (notably the broad bowls and strong horizontals), while lowercase shows a robust, readable build with a two-storey g, single-storey a, and a slightly squared, punchy texture. Figures are wide and confident with clear shapes and strong vertical stress, matching the letterforms’ substantial color on the page.
Well-suited for headlines and display typography where a strong, classic voice is needed, including editorial layouts, book or magazine covers, and heritage-leaning branding. Its dense color and flared details also work well for short blocks of text, pull quotes, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, traditional serif presence.
The tone is traditional and assertive, with a warm, print-like presence that suggests established institutions and editorial seriousness. The flared endings and rounded joins keep it from feeling overly rigid, adding a subtly human, crafted character even at large, emphatic sizes.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, traditional serif impression with flared endings that add warmth and distinction, prioritizing impact and readability in display and headline contexts. Its compact proportions and consistent rhythm suggest an aim for strong typographic color and a confident, authoritative voice.
The design maintains consistent weight distribution across rounds and straights, producing a dense but even typographic color. Terminals and serifs often broaden into the stroke, creating a sculpted silhouette that stays legible in bold settings and gives headings a distinctive, slightly old-style flavor.
