A sturdy serif with broad proportions, low stroke modulation, and flared, bracketed terminals that give stems a gently widened finish. Letterforms are built from substantial verticals and rounded bowls, with compact counters and a consistent, weighty rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase shapes read authoritative and stable, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with clear, traditional constructions and a relatively closed, dense texture in text. Numerals are heavy and legible, with round figures like 0/8 feeling full and centered, and angular figures showing crisp, chiseled endings.
Well suited to headlines, deck type, and editorial display where the strong serifs and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and brand marks that want a traditional, authoritative feel with extra weight and presence, and it can work for short text blocks when given comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining traditional bookish cues with a more muscular, headline-ready presence. Its flared endings and solid massing suggest seriousness and trust, lending a refined but assertive voice rather than a delicate or ornamental one.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, classic serif voice with distinctive flared stroke endings—aiming for confident display impact while retaining familiar, readable proportions for editorial use.
In continuous text the font creates a dark, even color with pronounced vertical emphasis and firm word shapes. The flared terminals add character at larger sizes, while the compact interior spaces can make paragraphs feel dense if set too tight.
