A sturdy serif with heavy, slightly flared stroke endings and compact bracketing that helps the serifs blend smoothly into the stems. The design shows a noticeable but controlled contrast, with broad, confident verticals and gently tapered curves, producing a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Proportions feel generous and open in the lowercase (notably a large x-height), while capitals read broad and stable with strong horizontals and rounded interior shapes. Figures are weighty and clear, with ample counterspace for the style.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other prominent typography where a strong, classic serif voice is needed. It also fits editorial design, book covers, and branding that benefit from a confident, traditional presence and a sturdy texture.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and dependable. Its weight and flared finishing give it a dignified, slightly old-style warmth rather than a brittle, modern sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, readable serif with a slightly flared, carved finishing—combining traditional proportions with enough x-height and weight to stay legible and commanding in contemporary layouts.
In text, the rhythm is steady and emphatic, creating dark, confident lines that hold up well at display and short-text sizes. Curved letters maintain smooth continuity into the terminals, and the serif treatment avoids slab-like blockiness while still feeling robust.
