A robust serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give the forms a carved, inked-in feel. Strokes stay relatively even while widening into the ends, and the overall construction is compact with strong verticals and carefully controlled curves. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with clear apertures and generous internal space, while details like the two-storey “a,” the ball-like terminals on letters such as “f,” and the distinctive, slightly notched joins add texture without becoming decorative. Numerals are weighty and stable, with rounded shoulders and confident, poster-like presence.
Well-suited for headlines, deck copy, and display typography where a traditional serif voice is needed with extra punch and texture. It can also serve effectively in editorial and book-cover contexts, especially for titles and pull quotes, and in packaging or branding that aims for heritage credibility.
The font projects a classic, institutional tone—confident and a bit old-world—suggesting print tradition and editorial gravitas. Its flared endings and sculpted joins add warmth and tactility, keeping it from feeling purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend the authority of a classic serif with the distinctive energy of flared stroke endings, creating a sturdy display face that feels rooted in print craftsmanship while staying highly legible.
At larger sizes the swelling terminals and subtle notches read as intentional character, enhancing headings and short passages. In tighter settings, the compact proportions and strong rhythm help maintain a dense, emphatic texture.
