A sturdy serif with pronounced, slightly flared stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes are heavy and relatively even, with only modest modulation, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette and clear interior counters. Uppercase forms feel wide and confident with rounded bowls and firm horizontals, while lowercase shows compact, readable constructions with distinct, somewhat angular joins and beaked terminals that add snap to curves. Numerals are weighty and proportionally consistent, matching the letters’ robust rhythm and giving the set a cohesive, editorial texture.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine typography, and branding that needs a classic, authoritative voice. The bold color and decisive terminals help it hold up in posters and title treatments, while its straightforward proportions keep paragraphs readable when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, leaning toward institutional and literary contexts rather than playful or delicate ones. Its dark color and emphatic terminals convey seriousness, stability, and a slightly old-world publishing voice.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif presence with added energy from flared stroke endings, combining a familiar editorial foundation with more emphatic terminals for stronger impact in headings and prominent text.
The face maintains a steady rhythm in text, with strong word-shape definition and clear differentiation between similar forms. The flared finishes and crisp bracket transitions add character at display sizes while still reading cleanly in longer lines.
