A sturdy serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give stems a slightly wedged, carved finish. The forms are generously proportioned with a solid vertical emphasis and compact counters, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette. Curves (C, O, S) are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals often sharpen into subtle points, adding crispness to the rhythm. Lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a, round i/j dots, and a robust, workmanlike texture that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent titling where its flared terminals and dense color can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial display in magazines, book covers, and packaging that aims for a classic, established voice.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, with a slightly vintage, print-forward character. Its heavy, flared detailing reads as confident and established, leaning toward classic editorial and institutional moods rather than minimalist or casual ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra emphasis and presence, using flared, bracketed finishing to add a crafted, print-like richness. It prioritizes impact and typographic authority while keeping familiar, readable structures for continuous text at larger sizes.
The capitals feel especially stately due to their broad, stable proportions and strong serifs, making lines of text look weighty and deliberate. Numerals are similarly sturdy and clear, with a distinct old-school presence that suits display sizes and short blocks of copy.
