A robust serif with pronounced contrast between thick vertical strokes and finer connecting strokes, paired with flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are upright with a steady, classical rhythm and moderately open counters, while curves show a slightly sculpted, vertical-stress feel. Capitals are strong and blocky with clear serif definition; lowercase forms maintain a conventional structure with a rounded, weighty bowl-and-stem construction and compact apertures. Numerals are sturdy and text-friendly, matching the overall heft and contrast of the alphabet.
It performs especially well in headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where its contrast and flared serifs can add presence and hierarchy. It also suits magazine layouts, book covers, and display-sized pull quotes where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The font conveys an editorial, traditional tone—confident and authoritative without feeling ornate. Its strong verticals and crisp serif shaping suggest seriousness and stability, making it feel suited to established, print-rooted typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif impression with added impact through strong contrast and flared, bracketed finishing. It balances conventional letterform construction with sculpted terminals to achieve a distinctive, authoritative display texture.
The spacing and proportions create a fairly broad texture, and the heavier strokes dominate the page color at text sizes. The flared endings and bracket transitions are consistent across glyphs, giving the design a carved, slightly calligraphic finish despite its upright, formal posture.
