A robust serif with wedge-like, flared terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that give strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The letterforms show moderate contrast with sturdy verticals and smooth, rounded joins, producing a dark, even color in text. Proportions are traditional with a relatively compact lowercase and sturdy capitals; counters stay open and round forms (O, C, G) are generously shaped. The lowercase includes a two-storey a and g, a broad-shouldered m/n, and a slightly tapered, angled rhythm in diagonals and curves that reads as deliberate rather than mechanical.
Best suited for headlines and display settings where its strong color and flared serif detailing can be appreciated, such as magazines, posters, and book covers. It can also support branding that wants a classic, credible voice, particularly when used in short text blocks or prominent typographic statements.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, with an authoritative, bookish presence suited to serious or heritage-leaning typography. The flared endings add warmth and a subtle human touch, keeping the bold weight from feeling purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with flared, wedge-like terminals to create a sturdy, high-impact reading voice. It prioritizes bold presence and clear, traditional forms while adding humanized stroke endings for warmth and character.
In the sample text, the heavy strokes and flared serifs create strong emphasis and sturdy word shapes, especially in headline sizes. The numerals are weighty and straightforward, matching the letters’ grounded, classical character.
