A robust serif with pronounced bracketing and subtly flared terminals that give strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. The letterforms are broad and steady, with generous counters and a compact, even rhythm that holds up at display sizes. Serifs are wedge-like and well integrated into the stems rather than blunt, and curves (C, G, S) show confident, rounded shaping with crisp joins. Numerals and capitals feel weighty and stable, with clear differentiation and solid, blocky presence.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, book or magazine typography, and brand marks that need a classic, authoritative voice. The strong stroke weight and broad proportions make it effective in posters and packaging, especially where a traditional, print-like presence is desired. It can also support shorter passages at larger text sizes where a rich typographic color is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, leaning toward an old-world, print-forward sensibility. Its confident weight and flared endings convey gravitas and a slightly ceremonial feel, while remaining readable and composed. The font reads as serious and editorial rather than playful or delicate.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif voice by pairing sturdy proportions with flared, bracketed finishing, creating a strong display presence without resorting to slab-like bluntness. Its consistent, weighty construction suggests a focus on impactful editorial and headline use while retaining familiar, classical cues.
Lowercase forms keep a sturdy, compact silhouette with strong vertical emphasis and short, firm terminals; the round letters maintain ample internal space for clarity. The ‘a’ and ‘g’ appear single-storey, contributing to a more human, bookish texture. Spacing in the sample text looks built for dense settings, producing a dark, cohesive typographic color.
