A sturdy serif with compact proportions and confident vertical emphasis. Stems are heavy and end in flared, bracketed terminals that read as sculpted rather than sharply cut, giving the letters a subtly calligraphic, chiseled feel. Curves are full and smooth, counters are moderate, and joins stay firm, producing a dense, even texture in text. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a deep-tailed “g,” while the numerals are robust and legible with strong vertical stress.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where its weight and flared serifs can deliver authority and personality. It can also serve effectively in book and magazine typography when a traditional, anchored texture is desired, and it has enough presence for branding applications that call for heritage and gravitas.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in traditional publishing. The flared endings add warmth and historic character without tipping into ornamental display, keeping the voice composed and institutional.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif construction with subtly flared stroke endings to create a robust, readable face that carries historical resonance. It prioritizes a stable, confident text color and strong silhouette for both display settings and extended reading contexts.
In running text the rhythm is tight and dark, with sturdy serifs and terminals helping anchor lines and guide horizontal flow. The uppercase has a monumental presence, and the punctuation and figures maintain the same weight and solidity, supporting consistent emphasis across headings and text.
