A sturdy serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that feel grown from the stems rather than attached. Curves are full and slightly oldstyle in behavior, with a gentle diagonal stress and moderate modulation that gives counters a rounded, organic shape. Uppercase forms are broad and confident, while the lowercase shows compact, readable joins and a clear hierarchy between thick and thin without becoming delicate. Numerals and capitals share the same carved, slightly tapered terminals, creating a consistent, weighty rhythm in text.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book cover typography where a classic serif voice with extra presence is desired. It can also support branding and display applications that need a traditional, authoritative tone, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the flared terminals and sculpted details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and literate, with a “printed on paper” warmth that reads as established and trustworthy. Its flared terminals and subtle calligraphic influence add a hint of historical character, making it feel more expressive than a purely rational book face while still remaining formal.
The font appears designed to blend classical serif conventions with flared, calligraphic finishing, aiming for a robust, readable face that carries historical warmth and strong personality in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the strong serifs and generous shapes create pronounced word silhouettes and an assertive typographic color. The design’s widened stroke endings and rounded joins help maintain presence at larger sizes, and the distinctive forms (notably the curves and diagonals) give it a recognizable, slightly archival voice.
