A sturdy serif with broad, confident forms and gently flared stroke endings that read like softened wedges rather than sharp, hairline serifs. Curves are full and generously rounded (notably in C, O, and G), while joins and terminals stay clean and controlled, giving the face a calm, even rhythm. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a double‑storey a, compact counters, and ball-like terminals on letters such as a and c; the g is single-storey with a rounded ear. Numerals are weighty and stable, with straightforward shapes designed to hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and other display contexts where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can also work for short editorial blocks, pull quotes, and branding systems that want a classic serif feel with a more robust, carved finish.
The overall tone is assured and classic, pairing a newspaper/editorial seriousness with a slightly sculpted, sign-like solidity from the flared terminals. It feels dependable and formal without becoming delicate, projecting clarity, tradition, and presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra firmness and visual punch, using flared terminals and compact internal space to keep letterforms stable and prominent at larger sizes. It aims for clarity and authority while preserving familiar, readable proportions.
Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable for large settings, and the heavy color on the page suggests it’s intended to command attention in headlines and short blocks. The serifs and terminals remain consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a uniform texture.
