A sturdy serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give the shapes a carved, ink-friendly feel. Strokes are solid and even, with moderate contrast and broad, open counters that keep letters readable at larger text sizes. The uppercase is wide and commanding, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained forms with a single-storey “g” and a notably strong, vertical rhythm. Numerals are weighty and clear, with rounded bowls and firm, squared-off finishing details that match the serif treatment.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where a classic serif voice is needed with extra weight and presence. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for tradition and trust, and it holds up well in large display settings where the flared terminals become a defining stylistic feature.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with an editorial seriousness that feels established and dependable. Its flared details add a subtle warmth and craft element, avoiding a purely formal, razor-sharp look while still reading as authoritative.
The design appears intended to blend familiar serif conventions with flared, widening terminals to increase impact and improve robustness in printing. It aims for a confident display character while maintaining legibility through open counters and steady proportions.
Letterforms show a consistent flare-and-bracket logic across rounds and straights, producing a slightly sculpted silhouette in words. Spacing and proportions feel built for clear word shapes, with ample interior space in characters like O, Q, and e, and a strong presence in capitals for emphasis.
