A robust serif with sculpted, flaring terminals that broaden as strokes meet the ends, creating a carved, ink-driven feel. The design shows bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and gently modulated strokes that keep counters open while maintaining a dense, confident color. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, while the lowercase shows a readable, traditional skeleton with a two-storey a and g, ball terminals in places, and slightly varied letter widths that add natural rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and old-style in spirit, with clear shapes and strong vertical presence.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and short passages where a traditional serif voice is desired. It fits editorial design, book covers, cultural branding, and posters that benefit from a confident, heritage-leaning presence and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an authoritative, editorial voice. Its flared endings and traditional proportions suggest a heritage feel—serious, composed, and well-suited to formal or literary contexts rather than minimal or technical styling.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif texture by emphasizing flared terminals and sturdy proportions, delivering a strong, readable face that feels at home in print-centric and editorial settings.
The sample text demonstrates strong paragraph texture and stable spacing at display-to-text sizes, with a distinctly serif-led rhythm and noticeable flare on verticals that reads as both warm and institutional. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q) are generous and smooth, helping maintain legibility despite the heavy stroke weight.
