A sturdy serif with pronounced flaring at stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Strokes are heavy and mostly even in weight, with compact counters and a tight, dense color on the page. Capitals show sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and confident verticals, while curves (C, G, S) are robust and slightly squared by the weight. The lowercase is workmanlike and readable, with short-to-moderate extenders and a single-storey g; overall spacing feels firm and deliberate, supporting set text at larger sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where a strong, classic serif presence is desired. It can also serve effectively in posters, book covers, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, weighty tone and clear letterforms at larger sizes.
The face conveys a traditional, editorial seriousness—confident and institutional rather than playful. Its flared endings and heavy presence suggest heritage and permanence, giving headlines a formal, authoritative voice.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional serif by pairing heavy, low-contrast construction with distinctly flared terminals for added character. The intent appears to balance robust readability with a memorable, authoritative texture for prominent typographic roles.
Numerals are chunky and display-oriented, with strong shapes that match the dense text color. The overall rhythm is steady and upright, prioritizing solidity and impact over delicacy.
