A robust serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that broaden from the stems. The shapes lean on strong verticals and rounded bowls, with softened transitions and slightly sheared terminals that create a carved, ink-trap–like crispness in places. Counters are moderately open and the rhythm is steady, producing a dense but readable texture in paragraphs. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and stately, while the lowercase maintains a clear, traditional structure with a compact, workmanlike color.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book-cover titling, and packaging or branding that benefits from a traditional serif voice. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes where a rich, assertive texture is desirable, especially at comfortable sizes with generous leading.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining a sense of tradition with a confident, headline-ready presence. Its flared finishing and weight give it a warm, slightly old-style feel rather than a clinical modern one, suggesting seriousness without becoming overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with extra weight and distinctive flared endings, prioritizing impact and a crafted, print-like texture. It balances familiar letterforms with stylized terminals to stand out in titles and editorial settings while remaining broadly readable.
The numerals and capitals read particularly strong at display sizes, with broad curves and stable horizontals that hold up well in heavy settings. In text, the dark color and prominent serifs create a pronounced page texture, making spacing and line length more noticeable in layout.
