A sturdy serif with pronounced, bracketed terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letters a carved, sculpted feel. Strokes are broadly even, with rounded joins and generous interior counters that keep forms open despite the heavy weight. The uppercase has compact, confident proportions with strong horizontals, while the lowercase shows clear, traditional structures (two‑storey a, single‑storey g) and a moderately tall, readable rhythm. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the text color of the letters and maintaining consistent alignment and presence in running text.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and editorial typography where a dense, authoritative presence is desired. It can also work for book covers, cultural posters, and branding that benefits from a classic serif voice with extra weight and visual impact.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than playful. Its dark, steady texture and classic detailing suggest seriousness, trust, and a slightly old‑world editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading of authority with added robustness, using flared, bracketed endings to create warmth and a crafted feel while maintaining strong clarity in display and short text settings.
Serifs and terminals read as softly tapered rather than blunt, which helps the face feel less mechanical than a slab while still staying very solid. The sample text shows a strong, even typographic color and clear word shapes suitable for emphatic setting at larger sizes.
