A sturdy serif with pronounced weight and clear high-contrast modulation. Stems frequently broaden into subtly flared endings and finish in compact, wedge-like serifs, giving the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic feel while remaining crisp and controlled. Counters are generous and largely round, with smooth curves in C/G/O and a strong, compact rhythm across capitals. Lowercase forms are solid and upright with a single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate extenders, and a tight, text-ready stance that reads dark and even at display sizes.
Works best in headlines, deck copy, and other short-to-medium runs where its dark color and flared serif character can anchor the page. It’s well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine covers, cultural or academic branding, and posters that need a classic, confident voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels familiar and trustworthy. The flared stroke endings add a touch of craft and historic flavor, tempering the bold presence with refinement rather than aggression.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, traditional serif presence with subtle flared finishing—combining a familiar editorial structure with distinctive terminal shaping for extra character in display and titling contexts.
The design leans on strong verticals and compact spacing, producing a dense typographic color. Numerals are heavy and legible, with simple, robust shapes suited to headlines and callouts. Details at joins and terminals suggest attention to clarity in dense settings, helping counters stay open despite the dark weight.
