A sturdy serif with pronounced flaring where stems meet serifs and terminals, creating a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. The letterforms are compact and weighty with generous interior counters, strong verticals, and rounded bowls that keep the texture readable despite the heavy color. Serifs are wedge-like and bracketed, and many joins show teardrop-like swelling that reinforces the flared construction. Curves and diagonals are smooth and controlled, with a steady rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is needed, and it also performs convincingly in larger text sizes for editorial layouts. It fits book covers, magazine titling, cultural posters, and brand marks that benefit from a traditional yet energetic serif with distinctive flared details.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a confident, print-forward presence. Its flared endings and robust proportions evoke a heritage, bookish sensibility while still feeling crisp and purposeful in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, classic serif color with added character from flared terminals and bracketed transitions. It balances solidity and refinement to create a recognizable editorial voice without relying on extreme contrast or ornate detailing.
The uppercase set reads stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, two-storey structure (notably in a and g) that supports long-form reading. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the type’s strong baseline and consistent, editorial texture.
