A compact, heavy serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften into the stems rather than snapping to slabs. Strokes stay relatively even in weight, with gentle thick–thin modulation mainly at curves and joins, producing a sturdy, consistent color on the page. Counters are moderately tight and the overall fit is compact, giving the design a dense, economical rhythm. Terminals often taper or flare slightly, and several joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that add crispness at text sizes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and dense copy where a strong serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely in headlines and packaging where compact, authoritative letterforms help deliver impact without requiring extreme contrast or ornament.
The letterforms suggest a classic, slightly old-world tone—serious and authoritative without feeling ornate. Its compact mass and confident serifs lend a newsroom/editorial gravity, while the flared endings add a touch of historical warmth reminiscent of print-era type.
The design appears intended to provide a strong, readable serif with compact spacing and print-friendly details, balancing traditional proportions with flared terminals for character and durability in reproduction.
Caps feel broad-shouldered with stable verticals, while lowercase maintains a workmanlike cadence suited to continuous reading. Numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the text weight and keeping a consistent, traditional texture across mixed alphanumerics.
