A compact, assertive serif with strongly bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give many joins a carved, wedge-like finish. The letterforms have a slightly calligraphic, old-style structure with rounded bowls, firm vertical stress, and a lively rhythm created by tapered curves and sharp interior notches. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and bookish, while the lowercase shows clear differentiation through robust ascenders/descenders, a two-storey a, and a compact e with a small eye. Numerals are heavy and stable, matching the text weight with similarly flared finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book cover typography, and branded applications that need a confident, classical serif voice. The strong typographic color and distinctive flared finishing also make it effective for packaging, pull quotes, and title treatments where presence and texture are desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a literary, editorial voice that feels rooted in print. Its pronounced terminals and sculpted joins add a hint of drama and gravitas without tipping into ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with extra personality from flared terminals and sculpted joins. It aims for a sturdy, high-impact page color while retaining old-style warmth and legibility in paragraph settings.
Several glyphs show crisp interior corners and small cut-ins at joins (notably in curved letters), which contributes to a slightly chiseled, ink-aware texture at display and text sizes. The spacing and sidebearings appear comfortable for continuous reading, with a dark typographic color that holds up in short lines and headings.
