A compact, sturdy serif with pronounced flared terminals and bracketed serifs that widen organically at stroke endings. The letterforms show moderate contrast with strong, dark verticals and slightly tapered joins, creating a carved, print-like rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are controlled, contributing to a dense, efficient texture. Uppercase forms are squared and stable, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, traditional structure with a two-storey a and g and a firm, slightly triangular t and w construction.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and display sizes where its flared terminals and dark color can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial typography, book and magazine titling, posters, and brand marks that need a classic, formal presence.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an old-style bookish feel that reads as serious and dependable. Its dark color and assertive terminals give it a confident, editorial voice suited to formal messaging rather than playful or delicate applications.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra emphasis and character through flared endings and compact proportions, producing strong visual authority and a distinctive print-era flavor.
In text, the type creates a strong, continuous line with clear word shapes and emphatic capitals. The numerals are sturdy and high-impact, matching the weight and terminal treatment of the letters, which helps maintain consistency in headings and mixed alphanumeric settings.
