A sturdy serif with compact, weighty forms and gently flared stroke endings that create wedge-like terminals. Stems are thick and steady, with moderate contrast and soft bracketing where serifs meet the main strokes, giving the letters a carved, slightly sculpted feel. Counters are relatively tight, curves are full and rounded, and the overall color on the page is dense and even. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” and a robust, readable rhythm; figures are heavy and steady, suited to headline sizing.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and display typography where its dense color and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It works well in editorial layouts, book jackets, institutional or heritage branding, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The font conveys a classic, authoritative tone with a traditional print sensibility. Its dark, confident presence reads as established and dependable, lending a formal, editorial character rather than a delicate or playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with added warmth from flared terminals and soft bracketing, combining historical cues with strong display impact. It prioritizes a confident, ink-rich texture and stable letterforms for prominent typographic roles.
The flare and bracketing at terminals help reduce harshness while maintaining a strong silhouette, and the broad, blunt serifs keep edges stable in large settings. The heavy interior shapes and short apertures favor impact and solidity over lightness.
