A robust serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a slightly calligraphic feel, with round counters and strong vertical emphasis. Uppercase proportions are stately and open, while the lowercase maintains steady rhythm with sturdy bowls and clear joins; the overall texture reads dense and confident in text. Figures are weighty and traditional, with ample curves and pronounced terminals that keep the set cohesive.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a traditional yet distinctive serif presence is desired. It can also work for book covers and editorial branding, especially when a strong, classic tone is needed and the typography is intended to feel substantial and authoritative.
The design conveys a classic, bookish authority with a vintage, editorial tone. Its confident weight and flared finishes give it a crafted, historical flavor without feeling overly ornate, suggesting seriousness and credibility.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif voice with added personality through flared, tapering terminals. The intention seems to balance readability with a crafted, heritage-leaning character that stands out in titles and editorial display.
In sample text, the heavy color and flared terminals create a strong, dark typographic voice that holds up well at display sizes. The shapes lean toward traditional forms with clear differentiation between characters, and the punctuation and capitals feel especially suited to emphatic, headline-style settings.
