A sturdy serif with broad proportions and gently bracketed serifs that often flare from the stems, creating a slightly sculpted, chiseled feel. Strokes are heavy and relatively even, with rounded interior joins and generous counters that keep the shapes open at display sizes. Terminals vary between wedge-like serif endings and occasional ball terminals (notably on forms like the lowercase g), producing a lively but controlled rhythm. The letterforms show traditional proportions with a clear distinction between straight stems and smoothly curved bowls, and figures appear weighty and stable with simple, confident construction.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where its weight and flared serif shaping can create strong presence. It also fits branding and packaging that want a classic, trustworthy impression, and works well in short-to-medium editorial settings where a dense typographic color is desirable.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, projecting an editorial, institutional voice with a touch of warmth from the softened flares and rounded details. It reads as classic rather than ornamental, with enough personality in the terminals and serifs to feel crafted and premium.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif voice with enhanced impact, combining classic construction with subtly flared, softened details to keep large-size typography energetic and distinctive while remaining familiar and readable.
Capitals are especially commanding, with wide stances and strong verticals that emphasize solidity. Lowercase maintains a familiar book-ish structure while keeping a display-forward heft, and the numerals match the same dense, grounded color for consistent impact in headlines.
