A sturdy serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins that give the strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Curves are broad and well-rounded, while horizontal strokes tend to end in tapered points rather than flat cuts. The lowercase shows compact, weighty forms with a single-storey “a” and “g,” and the “t” has a distinctive hooked top, reinforcing the font’s sculpted rhythm. Numerals are substantial and old-style in spirit, with generous bowls and tapered details that stay consistent with the flared finishing throughout.
It performs best in display and headline settings where its flared terminals and sculpted joins can be appreciated—magazine titles, book jackets, cultural branding, and poster typography. In editorial layouts it can work for short passages, pull quotes, and section openers where a firm, classical texture is desired.
The overall tone reads confident and traditional, with a stately presence that feels suited to institutions and classic publishing. Its dramatic terminals add a touch of ceremony and vintage character without becoming ornate, producing a serious, literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added individuality through flared stroke endings and carved-looking terminals. It aims to provide strong impact and a refined, print-forward texture for titles and prominent text.
In text, the dense color and tapered terminals create a lively texture that favors larger sizes, where the flaring and brackets remain clear. The design balances strong vertical emphasis with rounded counters, giving headlines a confident, slightly old-world footprint.
