A sturdy serif with heavy, low-modulation strokes and subtly flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. The serifs are short to moderate in length and feel bracketed, giving joins a smooth, carved quality rather than abrupt slabs. Proportions are compact and robust, with rounded bowls and a generally vertical, steady stance; counters stay open despite the weight. In text, the rhythm is even and dense, with strong verticals and clear, squared-off punctuation and numerals that read confidently at display sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where a strong serif presence is desired. It also fits book covers and editorial branding, especially in contexts aiming for a traditional, established feel with a slightly crafted edge. For longer text, it will work best at comfortable sizes where the heavy texture has room to breathe.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial voice. Its flared details add a hint of warmth and craft—suggesting tradition and permanence—while the heavy color gives it a confident, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional serif voice with added character from flared, wedge-like stroke endings. It balances classic proportions with a bold, inky texture to provide strong impact while maintaining familiar readability.
Uppercase forms lean toward formal, inscriptional structure, while the lowercase keeps a practical, readable shape language. Numerals match the same solid weight and upright posture, supporting consistent emphasis in headings and short runs of text.
