A heavy, compact serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke terminals that give the letterforms a carved, chiseled finish. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast and smooth joins, producing strong, dark typographic color. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, while round forms (C, O, G) stay broad and even. The lowercase is sturdy with a straightforward two-storey a, a compact e, and a narrow, straight-backed r; the numerals are bold and stable with a prominent 8 and a simple, readable 1.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and titling where a bold, classic voice is needed. It can work for book and magazine covers, institutional branding, and poster typography, especially where strong contrast against a light background is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and institutional—confident, weighty, and slightly ceremonial. Its flared endings add a touch of crafted sophistication, suggesting heritage and credibility rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra impact, combining robust proportions with flared, bracketed finishing to evoke a carved, authoritative presence in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text the font holds its shape well at display sizes, creating a strong headline presence and a consistent rhythm across mixed-case phrases. The heavy weight and tight counters can make long passages feel dense, but they also help short lines and titles read with authority.
