A sturdy serif with bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a confident, dark overall color. Strokes show gentle tapering into the serifs rather than abrupt slab endings, giving the outlines a subtly calligraphic, carved feel. Counters are compact and the curves are full, with a steady rhythm that reads well in larger sizes. The lowercase has traditional book-type proportions, with round i/j dots and a generally even, upright texture; figures appear lining with similarly weighty presence.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and display sizes in editorial layouts, book covers, and brand marks that need a traditional serif voice. The strong color and compact counters help it hold its own in posters and title treatments, while the conventional lowercase shapes support readable short-to-medium passages when set with comfortable leading.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, leaning toward bookish and institutional rather than trendy. Its weight and flared finishing give it a confident, slightly ceremonial voice that suggests established brands, publishing, and formal messaging.
Likely designed to deliver a classic, print-rooted serif with added personality through flared terminals and tapered joins, offering a strong presence for titles and publishing while staying within familiar, traditional letterform expectations.
In the sample text the face maintains a consistent dark texture with clear word shapes, and the flared stroke endings add character without becoming decorative. The mix of crisp edges and softened brackets keeps it from feeling overly sharp, making it suitable for prominent text where a classic serif presence is desired.
