A robust serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced contrast between thick stems and finer connecting strokes. Serifs read as wedge-like and often bracketed, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a rigid, geometric construction. Curves are generous and slightly swollen in key joints, while counters stay open and legible at display sizes. The lowercase shows lively shaping—noticeable ear and terminal detailing, a strong double-story “g,” and a “t” with a substantial crossbar—adding texture and rhythm across words.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display roles where the high contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also fits branding systems that want a traditional serif with extra personality, and it can work for short-form editorial settings such as magazine openers or book-cover titling.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a confident, editorial voice. Its heavy presence and sharp finishing details convey tradition and seriousness, while the flared endings add a touch of craftsmanship and drama.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with heightened stroke drama and crafted terminals, producing a distinctive headline voice that feels both established and expressive.
Spacing appears comfortably open for a display serif, helping dense text blocks avoid feeling cramped. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the uppercase’s strong stance and making figures feel prominent in headlines.
