A robust serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals and a subtly calligraphic stroke logic. Strokes taper into wedge-like serifs rather than ending bluntly, giving counters and joins a sculpted, slightly organic feel. Proportions are generous with broad capitals and open lowercase; bowls are round and full, and the overall rhythm is steady and even. Numerals are sturdy and highly readable, matching the weight and terminal treatment of the letters.
Well-suited to headlines and display settings where strong presence and classic character are desirable, such as editorial titles, book covers, and cultural or institutional branding. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a dense, emphatic typographic color is needed.
The font reads as traditional and authoritative, with a warm, bookish tone rather than a sharp, modern one. Its flared endings and soft bracketing add a touch of humanist character, making it feel established and trustworthy while still approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added warmth through flared terminals and gentle bracketing, balancing gravitas with a crafted, human touch. Its sturdy proportions and consistent rhythm suggest a focus on impactful, legible display typography.
Distinctive details include wedge-like feet on letters such as T and L, a lively S with tapered terminals, and a Q with a prominent, curved tail. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the overall color on the page is dark and confident without becoming brittle.
