A sturdy serif with flared stroke endings and soft, bracketed joins that give the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic solidity. Strokes are broadly weighted with controlled modulation, producing a firm color on the page without feeling rigid. Counters are compact to moderate, with rounded bowls and gently notched interiors in places (notably in letters like B and S), and terminals often finish in small wedges or subtle ball-like shapes. The lowercase is robust and compact, with a single-storey a and g and a strong, rectangular serif presence on verticals, while the numerals are wide and heavyweight with prominent top/bottom structure.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where a strong serif voice is desired—headlines, book and magazine titling, packaging copy, and brand marks that need a classic, established tone. It can also work for pull quotes and section heads in editorial layouts where a dense, confident texture is beneficial.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an old-style, print-forward feel that suggests established institutions and editorial gravity. Its bold, sculpted shapes read as confident and slightly vintage, balancing warmth from the flared details with a disciplined, formal rhythm.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif presence with added personality through flared terminals and sturdy proportions, providing high visual impact while retaining a familiar, editorial-friendly structure.
In text settings the font maintains a consistent, dense texture with clear word shapes, while the pronounced terminals and flaring add character at larger sizes. The caps present a stable, monumental stance, and the punctuation and figures appear designed to match the same hefty, high-impact presence.
