A sturdy serif design with pronounced, gently bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden as they meet the terminals. Curves are full and confident, with ample counters in letters like C, O, and e, while joins and apexes (A, V, W) stay crisp and pointed. The lowercase shows compact, weighty forms with a two-storey a and g, a strong ball-like i/j dot, and a slightly calligraphic lift where strokes taper into terminals. Numerals are robust and clear, with a notably fluid 2 and an angled, energetic 9 that echo the font’s flared finishing.
Best suited to display sizes where its serifs, flared terminals, and confident curves can be appreciated—editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, posters, and brand marks that want a traditional but energetic voice. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers where strong presence and legibility are priorities.
The overall tone is classic and forceful, suggesting seriousness and credibility without feeling delicate. Its broad, weight-forward shapes give it a headline-ready presence, while the traditional serif detailing keeps it grounded in bookish and editorial conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, classic reading of the serif tradition, pairing familiar letter structures with subtly expressive, flared endings for extra personality. It aims to communicate authority and heritage while staying energetic and contemporary enough for modern editorial and branding contexts.
The typeface maintains a steady rhythm across the alphabet, balancing rounded bowls with firm verticals and distinctive terminal shaping. The flared endings and bracket transitions add warmth and motion, helping large text feel lively rather than purely rigid.
