A sturdy serif with broad proportions and a firm, even color. Strokes remain largely uniform, while terminals and joins subtly swell into flared, wedge-like endings that give the forms a carved, calligraphic finish. Serifs are clearly bracketed and slightly tapered rather than blocky, and the counters are open enough to keep large text from clogging. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with pronounced ascenders/descenders, and the overall rhythm is steady and formal, with smooth curves and crisp verticals.
Best suited to display sizes where its flared terminals and bracketed serifs can be appreciated—magazine and newspaper headlines, book jackets, institutional branding, and posters. It can also work for short runs of large subheads or pull quotes when a confident, traditional voice is needed.
The tone is authoritative and composed, with a classic, editorial demeanor. Its flared details add a touch of craft and heritage, making it feel established and trustworthy rather than trendy or playful.
Designed to deliver a strong, legible display serif that reads as classic and dependable, while using subtle flaring to add warmth and a hint of inscriptional or calligraphic character.
In the sample text the heavy weight and wide set create strong headline presence, while the flared terminals soften what would otherwise be a purely blunt, geometric impression. Numerals appear robust and readable with clear shapes and ample interior space.
