A robust serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins that give the strokes a gently sculpted feel. The letterforms show moderate proportions with a steady, even rhythm, rounded bowls, and confident verticals; counters are open enough to keep dense text from clogging. Serifs are not slabby—ends taper and flare rather than forming rectangular blocks—while curves transition smoothly into stems, reinforcing a crafted, traditional structure.
Well suited to headlines and subheads in magazines, books, and long-form editorial layouts where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also support packaging and brand marks that aim for a classic, established character, and it holds up well in short text passages at larger sizes.
The overall tone is authoritative and heritage-leaning, with a confident, editorial presence. Its flared endings and sturdy forms suggest tradition and reliability while still feeling energetic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif credibility with a more animated, chiseled texture created by flared stroke endings. It aims for clarity and impact in display and editorial settings while maintaining a consistent, readable rhythm in words and lines.
Capitals appear slightly more monumental than the lowercase, making headings feel assertive. Numerals are sturdy and readable, with rounded forms and clear differentiation at typical display sizes.
