A sturdy serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and bracketed terminals that give the letters a carved, press-like presence. Strokes show moderate contrast with firm vertical emphasis, and the serifs broaden and taper in a way that reads as flared rather than slabby. Curves are full and slightly compressed, with rounded bowls and controlled apertures; spacing is even and the rhythm is steady in text. Numerals and capitals have a confident, weighty structure, while lowercase forms keep a compact, workmanlike texture with a prominent serif footprint.
It performs well for headlines, subheads, and display typography where a classic serif voice and strong presence are needed. The steady text rhythm also makes it suitable for editorial layouts and book-cover typography, especially when aiming for a traditional, authoritative mood. Its distinctive flared terminals can add character to branding and packaging that leans classic rather than minimalist.
The font feels traditional and authoritative, with an editorial tone that suggests print heritage and seriousness. Its heavy, sculpted serifs add a dignified, slightly old-style warmth, balancing robustness with refinement for a confident voice.
The font appears intended to combine a traditional serif foundation with expressive, flared stroke endings that increase presence and character. It aims for strong legibility and a stable text color while offering a more sculpted, display-ready silhouette than a neutral book serif.
The design maintains a consistent serif logic across cases, with terminals that widen into subtle flares and a generally crisp silhouette at larger sizes. The overall color on the page is dark and stable, suited to emphatic settings where strong typographic presence is desired.
