A sturdy serif with subtly flared terminals and bracketed joins that soften the heavy strokes. Curves are generously rounded and the counters are fairly open, while stress reads as gently modulated rather than sharply contrasted. Serifs feel shaped and slightly tapered rather than blocky, giving stems a faintly sculpted, chiseled look. Overall proportions are compact and weighty, with consistent rhythm in text and clear, stable letterforms.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a traditional serif voice is desired with extra punch. It can carry editorial and publishing uses such as magazine titles, book covers, and pull quotes, and it also works for branding where an established, authoritative tone is important.
The tone is classic and assured, pairing a bookish, old-style sensibility with a slightly dramatic, display-ready presence. Its flared endings add warmth and personality, keeping it from feeling purely formal or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with added impact, using flared stroke endings and smooth bracketing to create a distinctive, carved texture that remains cohesive in continuous text.
The capitals have a strong, poster-like silhouette, while the lowercase remains readable and grounded at text sizes. Numerals are equally robust and visually aligned with the letterforms, supporting emphatic settings without looking decorative.
