A robust serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that create a sculpted, carved feel. Strokes are broadly proportioned with clear vertical emphasis and smooth, moderate modulation, while curves are generous and open, giving counters a steady rhythm. Terminals often finish with slight beaks or tapering flares, and the overall texture reads dense yet controlled in running text. Figures are sturdy and traditional in construction, matching the weight and presence of the letters.
Works well for magazine headlines, editorial layouts, and book typography where a strong, classical serif voice is desired. Its substantial letterforms also suit branding and packaging that need a trustworthy, premium tone without drifting into overt ornament.
The tone is confident and editorial, blending traditional bookish cues with a slightly contemporary, muscular presence. It feels authoritative and established rather than decorative, suited to content that benefits from gravity and clarity.
Likely designed to deliver a readable, high-impact serif that bridges display and text use, adding personality through flared terminals and sculpted serifs while preserving a familiar, classical structure.
Spacing appears even and text color is consistent across mixed-case settings, helping long passages hold together without looking brittle. The flared finishing on stems and arms adds character at display sizes while remaining disciplined in paragraph use.
