A sturdy serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and bracketed terminals that give the letterforms a carved, wedge-like feel. Strokes are weighty with noticeable modulation, and the joins and curves read as smoothly modeled rather than purely geometric. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while overall proportions lean traditional with substantial vertical stems and confident, rounded bowls. Numerals share the same robust, slightly calligraphic construction, keeping a consistent rhythm across text and display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong serif texture is desirable, such as magazine features, book covers, and section openers. Its weight and flared details make it especially effective for headlines and pull quotes, while the open counters help it remain readable in short-to-medium passages of text. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a traditional, premium feel.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and a slightly old-world formality. Its flared serifs and modeled contrast suggest a bookish, crafted character—serious and dependable rather than playful. In larger settings it feels stately and emphatic, with a refined, print-forward voice.
Likely designed to combine classic serif authority with a more sculpted, flared finishing that adds warmth and character. The goal appears to be a robust, high-impact text and display face that maintains traditional proportions while standing out through tapered terminals and modeled stroke transitions.
The silhouettes stay crisp and stable, with terminals that broaden into subtle wedges instead of thin hairline serifs. Curves and diagonals maintain a consistent heft, creating a strong texture in paragraphs and a solid presence in headlines.
