A robust serif with distinctly flared, bracketed terminals that broaden out from the stems and create a sculpted, slightly calligraphic silhouette. Proportions are balanced with a steady rhythm and moderate stroke modulation; counters stay open and legible while joins remain firm and compact. Serifs are not rectangular slabs, but wedge-like and tapered, giving horizontals and terminals a shaped, chiselled finish. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey g and sturdy stems, and the numerals are solid and straightforward with prominent top/bottom shaping that matches the flared ending logic.
This font suits editorial headlines, book-cover typography, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired with extra heft and presence. It also works well for posters and branding systems that need a crafted, traditional tone with strong readability and clear, confident letterforms.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, projecting authority without looking overly delicate. The flared endings add warmth and a crafted, print-like character, making the face feel confident and slightly old-style in spirit while staying clean and readable.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, sculpted terminals to achieve a sturdy, display-capable texture that still reads cleanly in text. Its shaped endings and moderate modulation suggest a goal of adding warmth and character while preserving a disciplined, professional rhythm.
At display sizes the broadened terminals and strong verticals create a bold texture and clear word shapes; at smaller sizes the stable counters and moderate contrast help maintain clarity. Spacing appears comfortable and even, supporting continuous reading while still delivering a pronounced, headline-ready presence.
