A heavy, low-contrast serif with subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that give strokes a slightly sculpted, ink-trap-free finish. The letterforms are broad and stable with generous counters, a tall x-height, and compact ascenders/descenders that keep lines feeling dense and efficient. Curves are smooth and well-rounded (notably in C, O, and e), while joins and serifs stay crisp, producing a confident rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium runs of text where a strong typographic color is desirable. It works well in editorial layouts, branding systems that need a trustworthy voice, posters, and cover typography. The tall x-height and open counters support legibility in larger text settings and dense compositions.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial gravity that feels familiar and dependable. Its flared endings add a touch of warmth and craft, keeping the bold voice from feeling purely mechanical. The result is assertive without being aggressive, suited to messaging that needs clarity and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, readable serif voice with subtle flare-driven character, balancing classic proportions with contemporary clarity. It aims for strong presence in display use while retaining enough regularity and openness to function in text-forward layouts.
Capitals have a strong, monument-like stance and consistent width relationships, while lowercase forms lean toward readability-driven shapes (open apertures and clear interior spaces). The ampersand and punctuation carry the same sturdy weight, helping mixed-case text maintain an even, blocky color.
