This typeface is a robust serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes. Stems finish with flared, bracketed serif shapes that feel carved rather than strictly geometric, giving terminals a slightly tapered, sculptural quality. Counters are generally open and the rhythm is steady, with a balanced mix of rounded forms (C, O) and strong, straight-sided structure (H, N). Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy with a clear two-storey a and a lively, looped g; numerals share the same high-contrast, old-style influence and sit comfortably with the text color.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and display typography where its sculpted serifs and contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial branding, book covers, and packaging where a traditional, authoritative serif is needed with extra visual punch.
Overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition without feeling delicate. The flared stroke endings and strong contrast add a touch of drama and ceremony, making the voice feel confident, established, and print-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added presence, using flared, bracketed endings and strong contrast to create a distinctive, premium texture. It aims to feel familiar and readable while still providing a bold, characterful silhouette for titles and prominent text.
At larger sizes the flared joins and bracketing become a defining texture, creating a bold, ink-trap-free sharpness while preserving a slightly calligraphic motion in diagonals and curves. The punctuation and figures maintain the same weighty presence, supporting headline work as well as short text settings.
