A heavy serif with compact proportions, sturdy verticals, and gently tapered stems that open into subtly flared, bracketed serifs. Curves are full and rounded, with softened joins and moderate stroke modulation that keeps counters clear even at bold sizes. The lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic influence in terminals and ear-like details, while the capitals maintain a stable, monument-like silhouette. Numerals match the overall heft, with broad bowls and firm baselines.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and editorial titling where its bold color and flared details can be appreciated. It can also work for short text passages in print-forward contexts, such as pull quotes, book jackets, menus, or packaging, where a classic yet muscular serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a slightly vintage, print-forward character. Its weight and flared finishing give it an authoritative presence that feels editorial and established rather than minimal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable serif with a traditional foundation, using flared terminals and softened detailing to add warmth and distinction at display sizes.
Spacing appears generous enough to prevent dark clumping in text, while the heavy strokes create a strong color on the page. The flaring and bracketing add warmth compared to a sharper transitional serif, helping large settings feel less rigid.
