A robust serif with wedge-like, flaring terminals and softly bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Counters are generous and mostly round, while curves transition smoothly into stems with noticeable swelling at terminals rather than crisp, hairline serifs. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented build with compact apertures in letters like “e” and “s,” a two-storey “a,” and a single-storey “g,” producing a dense but readable rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle (descending forms visible in 3, 5, 7, 9), reinforcing a bookish texture in running text.
Well-suited to headlines and short passages where a strong, classic serif voice is desired—magazine titles, book covers, cultural branding, and poster typography. It can also work for pull quotes and section heads in editorial layouts where a dense, traditional texture is an asset.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a slightly dramatic, engraved character that reads as established and cultured. The flared finishing adds warmth and humanist motion, keeping the heaviness from feeling purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to combine a traditional serif foundation with flared, chiseled terminals for a more expressive, heritage-forward voice. It aims to deliver high impact in titles while retaining familiar, text-friendly proportions and conventional letterforms.
The silhouette is dark and steady, but the flared endings and rounded interior shapes keep wordforms lively at display sizes. Capitals feel stately and compact, with broad curves (C, G, O) and pronounced terminal shaping that supports strong headline presence.
