A sculpted serif with moderate stroke contrast and subtly calligraphic construction. Serifs are bracketed and often flare outward from the stems, giving terminals a widened, chiseled feel rather than a sharp, hairline finish. Curves are full and open, counters stay generous, and round letters like O/C read broad and steady. The lowercase shows an oldstyle-leaning texture with a single-storey g and a lively, slightly tapered rhythm through stems and joins, while capitals remain sturdy and dignified.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and headline work where a classic serif voice is needed with a bit of sculptural character. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from traditional cues and confident, readable letterforms.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a confident, institutional presence. Flared endings add a touch of warmth and craftsmanship, keeping the style from feeling purely mechanical or modern. It communicates seriousness and credibility without becoming overly delicate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with flared, calligraphy-informed terminals to create a distinctive, authoritative text-and-display workhorse. It aims for sturdy readability while adding recognizable personality through tapered joins and widened endings.
At text sizes the face builds a dark, even color with clear letterforms and ample internal space. The figures appear lining and robust, designed to hold their shape in display or headline settings without looking fragile.
