This typeface shows sturdy, rounded letterforms with gently flared stroke endings and small, bracketed serif cues that feel carved rather than sharply cut. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, producing an even color on the page. Counters are generally open and the joins are smooth, with subtle wedge-like terminals that add texture to straight strokes. The overall geometry balances broad curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) with compact, squared-off structure in E, F, and T, creating a steady, readable rhythm across lines.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial blocks where a strong, classic voice is needed. The dense stroke weight and low-contrast structure support high-impact uses such as posters, packaging, and brand marks, and can also work for brief text passages when generous spacing and size are available.
The tone is confident and traditional without feeling delicate—more warm and substantial than formal. Its flared endings and rounded construction give it a slightly old-style, print-forward character that reads as trustworthy and approachable. In display sizes it carries a stout, headline energy suited to emphatic statements.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif credibility with a more muscular, contemporary presence. Flared terminals and softened shaping provide a distinctive signature while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible, aiming for a dependable display serif that prints with authority.
Uppercase proportions feel stable and slightly compact, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, workmanlike presence with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are heavy and highly legible, with simple forms that match the letters’ solid texture and flared finishing.
