This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sturdy vertical stems and sharply tapered joins. Serifs are bracketed and subtly flared, with stroke endings that widen into wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs. The letters have compact, confident proportions, with round forms (C, O, Q) kept relatively tight and upright, and a clear, consistent baseline rhythm. Lowercase forms are sturdy and readable, with a double-storey a, a looped descender on g, and a compact, slightly angular ear on r; punctuation and figures match the same high-contrast, wedge-terminal logic.
It performs best in headlines, deck copy, and other prominent text where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also suits book and magazine typography, title pages, and branding that calls for a traditional serif voice with extra punch. In dense small text, spacing and size should be chosen carefully to preserve clarity of the fine strokes.
Overall, the font reads as formal and dependable, with an editorial polish that feels rooted in print tradition. The strong contrast and crisp terminals lend it a confident, authoritative tone suited to serious or premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with heightened contrast and distinctive flared, wedge-like terminals for stronger display impact. It balances traditional proportions with a more sculpted stroke-ending treatment to create a recognizable, editorially minded texture.
At display sizes the flared endings and bracket transitions become a defining texture, giving lines a lively, slightly calligraphic sparkle without tilting into italics. The numerals appear weighty and stable, with clear differentiation and a classic, bookish color on the page.
