A sturdy serif with heavy, even strokes and subtly flared terminals that broaden toward the ends, producing a carved, bracketed feel rather than a sharp, hairline finish. Curves are generously rounded and bowls are full, giving letters a compact, high-ink silhouette with stable counters. The uppercase set reads blocky and authoritative, while the lowercase shows a broad, friendly rhythm; the two-story a and g and the robust serifs help keep word shapes clear. Numerals are similarly weighty and rounded, with a consistent, print-oriented presence.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a strong serif voice is needed with a warm, approachable edge. It can also work for editorial display and short blocks of text when a dense, authoritative typographic color is desired.
The tone is traditional and assured, with an editorial seriousness softened by rounded forms and gentle flaring. It suggests established institutions and print craft—confident without feeling cold or overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with modern sturdiness, using flared, bracketed endings and rounded construction to maintain clarity and character at display sizes and in punchy typographic statements.
Serifs and terminals are visibly shaped and slightly splayed, which helps the font hold up well at larger sizes and adds texture in lines of text. The overall color on the page is dense and steady, favoring impact and readability over delicacy.
