A compact, sturdy serif with flared, bracketed terminals that widen into wedge-like endings. Strokes stay relatively even, producing a calm, low-contrast texture, while the serifs add crisp punctuation at corners and joins. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with modest apertures and rounded bowls; curves are smooth and full, and verticals read firm and straight. Numerals and capitals feel weighty and stable, with a consistent rhythm suited to dense settings.
It performs well in editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a firm, traditional voice is needed. The steady stroke weight and consistent rhythm also make it a viable option for book or long-form print typography at comfortable sizes, and for branding systems seeking a classic, established feel.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting seriousness and authority without feeling overly delicate or ornamental. Its compact stance and confident serifs evoke traditional print typography—suited to measured, formal communication rather than playful display.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with extra sturdiness and presence, using flared terminals to add character and reinforce stroke endings. It balances conventional proportions with a compact, weight-forward build for confident, high-impact typography.
In text, the strong stems and compact spacing create a dark, even color, while the flared terminals help keep edges distinct at larger sizes. The design favors solidity and clarity over sparkle, with a restrained, conventional personality.
