A sturdy serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs. The design shows clear modulation between thick and thin, with smooth transitions that give strokes a slightly calligraphic, carved quality rather than a purely mechanical one. Capitals are broad and steady with generous interior space, while lowercase forms are compact and sturdy; details like the earless, two-storey “g” and the curled “j” add warmth. Figures are traditional and weighty, with strong verticals and rounded bowls that hold up well at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, and brand marks that need a classic, credible voice. Its weight and sculpted serifs also make it effective for posters, pull quotes, and other display settings where strong typographic presence is needed.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, combining classical bookish manners with a slightly dramatic, headline-ready presence. It feels traditional and authoritative without becoming overly ornate, making it suited to serious, institution-forward communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless serif voice with extra emphasis and character through flared, bracketed endings and controlled contrast. It aims for readable, conventional letterforms while adding a distinctive, carved finish that enhances impact in display typography.
Terminals and joins tend to swell subtly, creating a consistent flared rhythm across stems and arms. The texture in text is dark and even, with relatively wide capitals and clear, open counters that help maintain legibility in short passages.
