A robust serif with flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden smoothly out of the stems. Letterforms are compact with generous weight, a steady vertical axis, and moderately open counters that keep the texture readable at large sizes. Curves show crisp, sculpted transitions and subtly tapered terminals, giving round letters like C, G, O, and Q a confident, carved quality. The lowercase has a traditional, bookish build with a two-storey a and g, a sturdy e with a defined eye, and short, strong extenders that maintain an even rhythm across words. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the text color of the letters and leaning toward display-friendly clarity.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a dense, confident serif texture is desirable. It also fits book covers and magazine typography that aims for a classic editorial feel, and can support branding and packaging that benefit from a heritage, authoritative impression.
The overall tone feels editorial and established, combining gravitas with a slightly energetic rhythm from the flared endings and tight proportions. It reads as traditional and trustworthy rather than delicate, projecting authority suited to serious or heritage-leaning communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, traditional serif voice with added character from flared stroke endings—balancing classic proportions with a more sculptural, display-oriented presence. It prioritizes impact and typographic color consistency in prominent text settings.
The heavy texture and compact widths create a strong page color, especially in all-caps and headline settings. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and the angled leg of R appear emphatic, contributing to a forceful, headline-ready voice without becoming stiff.
