A robust serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and softly bracketed serifs that broaden out from the stems. Strokes are relatively even, with gentle modulation and rounded joins that keep the forms sturdy at display sizes. Proportions favor a tall, prominent lowercase, with large counters and clear apertures; curves are full and slightly compressed, giving the letters a compact, confident rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same weight and broad-shouldered presence, producing a cohesive, headline-ready texture.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is needed. It also fits book covers and mastheads, and can support brand identities that want a classic, institutional feel with a touch of crafted individuality.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial gravitas that reads as established and trustworthy. Its flared detailing adds a subtle historical warmth, balancing formality with a crafted, bookish character.
The design seems intended to deliver a sturdy, readable serif with expressive flared finishing—classic enough for editorial work, yet distinctive in silhouette for prominent display use.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, helping the heavy strokes avoid clogging in longer settings. Distinctive flares on letters like C, S, and T add personality without turning decorative, and the design maintains strong silhouette clarity across the alphabet and figures.
