A robust serif with flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings, giving strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The design maintains low contrast overall, with sturdy verticals and gently rounded joins that keep the texture even in dense settings. Uppercase forms are compact and assertive with crisp serifs and softened corners, while the lowercase shows traditional, oldstyle-leaning proportions with moderate ascenders and descenders. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the letterforms with similarly flared finishing and a consistent, print-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to display through medium text sizes where its strong serifs and flared terminals can contribute character—editorial headlines, book and album covers, institutional branding, and poster typography. It can also support short passages or pull quotes when a dense, traditional texture is desired.
The tone is classic and institutional, balancing warmth with authority. Its flared endings and sturdy build evoke traditional printing and heritage signage, producing a confident, editorial voice rather than a delicate or ornate one.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif voice by combining sturdy, low-contrast construction with expressive flared terminals, aiming for high impact and dependable readability in print-like contexts.
The internal counters stay relatively open for the weight, and the overall spacing reads slightly tight and compact, creating a dark, cohesive color on the line. Rounded transitions and subtle stroke modulation keep the heavy forms from feeling purely geometric or mechanical.
