A sturdy serif with broad proportions and pronounced, smoothly bracketed serifs that often flare subtly as strokes meet the terminals. Curves are generous and rounded, with a slightly organic modulation that keeps counters open and readable at size. Uppercase forms feel stable and wide-set, while lowercase shapes stay compact with clear, vertical stress and straightforward constructions; the two-storey a and single-storey g read distinctly, and the numerals are heavy and even. Overall stroke endings and joins avoid sharpness, favoring softened transitions that give the design a carved, print-like solidity.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where its broad proportions and strong serif structure can project impact. It also works well for editorial titling, branding systems that need a reliable, classic voice, and packaging or signage that benefits from bold, highly legible letterforms.
The tone is assertive and traditional, balancing a classic bookish voice with a contemporary, no-nonsense weight. Its wide stance and flared finishing details lend an institutional, headline-ready authority without feeling ornamental.
The likely intention is to provide a robust serif for modern display use: wide, confident forms with softened, flared finishing that nods to traditional inscriptional and print cues while staying clean and highly legible.
The design’s breadth and heavy color create strong word shapes in short bursts, and the open apertures help prevent dark spots in dense settings. It reads particularly well where a serif presence is desired but with smoother, less delicate detailing than high-contrast classics.
