A robust serif with flared, bracketed terminals and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke system. The letterforms are broad and well-spaced, with open counters and clear internal shapes that keep the heavy weight from feeling clogged. Serifs tend to taper into wedge-like forms and the joins are clean and controlled, giving the outlines a crisp, carved impression. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly expansive, while lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm with a two-storey a and g and compact, decisive endings.
This face performs best in headlines, subheads, and editorial layouts where a strong serif voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It suits book and magazine typography, packaging or identity work that benefits from a confident, traditional tone, and poster settings where its broad proportions and crisp terminals remain distinct.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that reads as established and dependable. Its flared endings add a subtle calligraphic warmth, tempering the weight with a refined, classical feel rather than a purely mechanical one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with added character through flared terminals—combining authority and readability with a slightly carved, calligraphic finish for contemporary editorial and branding applications.
Numerals are strong and display-oriented with bold presence and clear silhouettes. The design maintains a consistent texture across mixed-case sample text, producing a dark, even typographic color that suits prominent settings while staying legible at text sizes.
