A sturdy serif with compact proportions, rounded bowls, and clearly bracketed, slightly flared stroke endings. Strokes are confidently weighted with modest contrast, giving the letters a dark, even color in text. Serifs read as wedge-like and gently splayed rather than slabby, and curves transition into stems with soft, cupped joins. The lowercase shows a compact rhythm with two-storey a and g, and the overall spacing supports dense, headline-style setting.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where a strong, classic serif voice is needed. It can anchor book covers, cultural branding, and poster typography that benefits from a dense, authoritative typographic color.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial presence. Its dark color and flared serif detailing add a slightly old-style, engraved feel without becoming ornate, projecting confidence and seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif impression with extra weight and presence, using subtle flaring and bracketed serifs to add warmth and tradition while maintaining a clean, readable structure.
Round letters like C, O, and Q are broad and stable, while diagonals in V, W, and Y are robust and keep the texture dark. Numerals match the weight and feel, with sturdy shapes suited to prominent display. The face holds up well at large sizes where the flared endings and bracket transitions become a key part of its character.
