A robust serif with compact proportions, sturdy stems, and gently flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Serifs are clearly bracketed and slightly tapered, with a consistent, low-contrast stroke pattern that keeps counters open and forms stable at text sizes. The capitals are broad and weighty with classical structure, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and moderate apertures; overall spacing feels even and deliberate. Numerals share the same solid, slightly calligraphic shaping and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for editorial branding, book covers, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative tone with a touch of crafted flare.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a stately, editorial presence. Its flared details add a subtle crafted warmth while retaining a formal, authoritative voice suited to serious messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif structure with added emphasis and presence through flared terminals and substantial weight, balancing a traditional reading rhythm with display-level impact.
The design shows a noticeable wedge motif across terminals and serifs, creating a sculpted silhouette without becoming decorative. In the sample text, the heavy color and controlled spacing produce a strong typographic “paragraph texture” that reads as dense but orderly.
