A robust serif with strongly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden gently into the terminals. The overall drawing is weighty and steady, with relatively open counters and rounded bowls that keep the forms readable at display sizes. Curves transition smoothly into stems, and many joins feel softly modeled rather than sharply mechanical, creating a slightly sculpted, ink-trap-free silhouette. The lowercase shows a compact, sturdy structure with a single-storey g and a distinct, angular ear and terminals that echo the flared theme.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial display where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that aim for a classic, premium, or heritage-leaning impression, and it holds up well in impactful poster-style settings.
The font reads as confident and traditional, with a bookish, institutional tone that still feels energetic due to its pronounced flare and bold presence. It conveys authority and familiarity—suited to messages that need to feel established and trustworthy rather than minimalist or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif voice with a distinctive flared finish—combining classic proportions with a more sculpted terminal treatment to increase presence and character in display typography.
The numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, with strong, simple silhouettes and clear differentiation at a glance. Across caps and lowercase, the rhythm is even and dense, emphasizing solidity and impact in headlines and short passages.
