A robust serif with pronounced flaring into the terminals and strongly bracketed serifs, giving strokes a carved, sculptural feel. Curves are full and rounded, counters are relatively generous, and the overall color is dark and steady at text sizes. The contrast is noticeable but restrained, with thick main stems and smoother, tapered joins rather than sharp hairlines. Proportions run on the broad side, and the set maintains an even rhythm despite subtle width differences between glyphs.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, and branding where a strong, classic voice is needed. The dense texture and broad proportions make it effective for posters and packaging, and it can serve for short to medium text where a bold, traditional serif is desired.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, with a warm, slightly old-style editorial flavor. Its weight and flared endings add gravitas and confidence, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif conventions with flared, sculpted terminals to achieve a strong, premium presence. It aims for high impact and readability through broad forms, generous counters, and consistent, dark typographic color.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and monumental, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a solid baseline presence. Numerals match the heavy texture and look designed to hold their own in display settings alongside the letters.
