A sturdy serif with wide, weighty letterforms and a firm vertical stance. Stems broaden into subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs, producing a carved, sculptural finish rather than sharp hairline endings. Curves are full and rounded with smooth, confident joins; counters are moderately open, supporting strong readability at display and larger text sizes. The overall rhythm is steady and traditional, with generous capitals and a consistent, slightly monumental color on the page.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong typographic voice is needed. It also fits book and magazine applications—especially covers and section openers—and can anchor branding systems that aim for a traditional, institutional, or heritage-leaning feel.
The tone is classic and authoritative, evoking editorial credibility and a sense of established tradition. Its heavy, sculpted details feel ceremonial and confident, lending a formal, headline-ready voice without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with extra weight and sculpted, flared finishing, creating a bold editorial texture that remains legible and composed. It balances classical proportions with softened transitions to keep the look substantial and refined rather than brittle.
Uppercase forms show strong presence and stable geometry, while the lowercase keeps familiar, bookish shapes with robust serifs that help lines lock together. Numerals match the overall heft and share the same flared, bracketed finishing, maintaining a cohesive texture in mixed content.
