A robust serif with bracketed, subtly flared stroke endings and a generally low-contrast, carved look. The forms are compact and steady, with wide, open counters in round letters and a firm vertical rhythm. Curves transition into stems with gentle tapering rather than sharp slabs, and terminals often finish with small triangular or wedge-like serifs that read crisply at display sizes. Numerals are weighty and straightforward, matching the same solid, grounded texture as the letters.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and titling where a strong serif texture is desirable. It can also support branding systems that need a traditional, trustworthy feel, and works effectively for posters or packaging that benefits from high-impact serif letterforms.
The overall tone feels classic and authoritative, with a sober, print-like presence. Its sturdy shapes and restrained detailing suggest reliability and tradition rather than delicacy or playfulness, giving headlines a confident, established voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif voice with modern sturdiness: substantial strokes, controlled contrast, and flared serif treatments that keep shapes crisp and legible. Its consistent weight and compact proportions emphasize a firm, confident typographic color for display and short-text use.
Uppercase construction is fairly monumental, while lowercase maintains a practical, readable structure with clear joins and strong shoulders. The design keeps details simple and consistent, prioritizing an even, dark typographic color and clear silhouettes in both letters and figures.
