A robust serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and confidently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a controlled, moderate contrast and a smooth, drawn quality, with soft transitions into terminals rather than abrupt cuts. Counters are compact and well-contained, giving the face a dense, ink-on-page color, while curves (C, O, S) read full and steady. The lowercase has a traditional text rhythm with a two-storey a, a looped g, and a gently angled e crossbar; numerals are sturdy and legible with clear differentiation.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, where its steady rhythm and compact counters maintain a strong text color. It also performs confidently for magazine and newspaper-style headings, institutional or heritage-leaning branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is editorial and traditional, projecting authority and seriousness without feeling brittle. Its flared finishing and rounded joins add a subtly human, bookish warmth that suits established brands and print-oriented typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with subtly flared, sculptural endings to create a sturdy, readable face that feels refined and established. It prioritizes clear silhouettes and consistent rhythm for both continuous text and prominent headlines.
Caps feel stately and evenly proportioned, with a wide, stable stance in letters like M and W and a classic, slightly calligraphic Q tail. Terminals and serifs are consistently treated across the set, reinforcing a cohesive, carved/inked impression in both text and display sizes.
