A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed, flared stroke endings and a strong, even typographic color. Stems are thick and confident, with gently tapered terminals that broaden into serifs rather than ending bluntly. Counters are moderately open and shapes feel slightly squared-off in places, giving the letters a carved, print-like solidity. Uppercase proportions are broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact joins, clear bowls, and a generally conventional construction.
It works best for headlines, editorial display, and titles where a strong serif presence is desired. The dense, consistent texture also suits short blocks of text such as pull quotes, subheads, and cover copy, and it can lend a classic, institutional tone to branding and packaging.
The font projects a traditional, bookish authority with a confident, slightly emphatic voice. Its weight and flared finishing suggest heritage printing and editorial gravitas, reading as dependable and established rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra impact, using flared, bracketed endings and substantial stroke weight to create a confident reading texture. It aims for familiarity and authority while adding visual strength for prominent typographic roles.
Serifs and terminals are consistently shaped across the set, creating a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Numerals are heavy and prominent, matching the overall density and making figures stand out clearly in text. The overall impression is bold without feeling decorative, relying on robust structure and flare for character.
