A robust serif with compact, dark letterforms and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into bracketed serifs. The design shows moderate contrast with rounded joins and a slightly soft, “inked” finish in corners and terminals. Capitals are sturdy and broad, with open counters in C/G/O and pronounced feet on E/F/L. Lowercase maintains a traditional, readable structure with a two-storey a and g, short-armed r, and a curved-shoulder n/m that adds warmth; figures are sturdy and slightly condensed in their internal counters, matching the overall dark color.
Best suited to headlines, standfirsts, and other short-to-medium display settings where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can work well for editorial branding, book cover titling, posters, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, traditional serif presence with a contemporary liveliness.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a classic editorial flavor softened by rounded details. It feels traditional without being delicate, projecting authority while staying approachable and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact serif optimized for display, combining classic proportions with flared, softened terminals for warmth and distinctiveness. Its strong weight and steady rhythm suggest an emphasis on punchy readability and brand-forward character.
Spacing reads generous for a heavy serif, helping maintain clarity at display sizes. The flared endings and small internal notches in some joins give a faintly hand-inked, crafted character that keeps large text from feeling purely mechanical.
