A sturdy serif with sculpted, flaring stroke terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a carved, tapering feel. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness, with subtle swelling into the joins and ends rather than sharp contrast. The capitals are broad and confident, with open counters and a steady, horizontal rhythm; the lowercase follows with a rounded, readable structure and compact apertures. Numerals are similarly weighty and stable, with smooth curves and strong entry/exit strokes that match the serif treatment.
Best suited to headlines, book and magazine typography, packaging, and brand marks where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also support short-form text such as pull quotes, subheads, and signage where its robust shapes and open counters maintain clarity.
The font projects a traditional, editorial seriousness tempered by a warm, slightly vintage personality. Its flared terminals and chunky presence create an authoritative tone that feels at home in established, institution-facing communication while still reading as inviting rather than austere.
The likely intention is to offer a bold, traditional serif voice with added character through flared terminals—balancing classical proportions with a more sculptural, energetic finish for attention-grabbing display typography.
The design leans on wide proportions and generous internal space, helping the heavy strokes stay legible at display sizes. The flaring at terminals adds motion and texture, creating a distinctive silhouette in words and a strong, consistent color across lines of text.
