This is a heavy, upright serif with broad, confident strokes and subtle modulation. Serifs are short and strongly bracketed, with stems that gently flare into the terminals, creating a sculpted, chiseled edge rather than a flat slab. Round letters (O, C, G) are full and steady, while joins in letters like n, m, h show slight shearing that adds a sturdy, carved rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact with large counters and a firm baseline; the a is single-storey and the g is single-storey with an open, rounded bowl. Figures are bold and wide-set, matching the strong presence of the capitals.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, posters, and bold editorial titling where strong, classic serif cues are desired. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs authority and heritage tone, especially in short lines or large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a workmanlike solidity that feels suited to headlines and institutional messaging. Its flared, bracketed endings add a touch of classic refinement, but the mass and tight apertures keep it grounded and emphatic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional serif voice, using flared, bracketed endings and sturdy proportions to keep forms readable and confident at display scale.
At display sizes the letterforms read cleanly, but the heavy weight and relatively tight internal spaces suggest it will feel dense when set small or in long passages. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text reinforce a compact, impactful texture.
