A robust serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a carved, weighty presence. Strokes show moderate modulation, with rounded joins and softened transitions that keep the heavy weight from feeling brittle. Counters are compact but open enough to remain readable at display sizes, and the forms lean traditional: rounded bowls, steady vertical stress, and confident terminals. Lowercase features a two-storey a and g, sturdy stems, and compact apertures; numerals are similarly bold and blocky with clear differentiation.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short passages where a strong typographic voice is desired. It can work for book covers and editorial feature typography, as well as branding and packaging that call for a traditional, authoritative serif with substantial presence.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking editorial tradition and institutional gravitas. Its strong black value and flared detailing add a slightly ceremonial, engraved feel without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra heft and a sculpted, flared finish, balancing traditional proportions with high-impact stroke weight for display-forward use.
At text sizes the heavy color can dominate the page, while at larger sizes the flared serifs and bracketed shaping become the main character. The design favors solidity and impact over delicacy, making spacing and line length feel dense and emphatic in paragraphs.
