A flared serif with broad, generous proportions and a steady, medium-contrast stroke pattern. Stems and terminals widen into subtly triangular, bracketed serifs, giving many letters a chiseled, ink-trap-like finish at corners and joins. Counters are open and the overall color is solid and even, with a calm horizontal rhythm; round letters read wide and full, while capitals feel sturdy and slightly engraved in character. The lowercase maintains a balanced x-height and clear differentiation between similar forms, with softly cupped terminals and confident, sculpted joins.
Best suited to headlines, magazine features, and cover typography where its wide proportions and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and titling that needs a traditional, authoritative voice, and for short passages or pull quotes where a strong serif texture is desirable.
The face conveys a classical, literary tone with an authoritative presence. Its flared endings and wide stance add a sense of monumentality and polish, leaning formal without becoming delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif conventions with a more sculpted, flared finish, producing a stately display serif that remains readable and controlled. Its broad proportions and consistent detailing suggest an aim toward impactful, confident typography for editorial and identity contexts.
In text, the broad set and strong serif shaping create a distinctive word silhouette and a pronounced, old-style texture. Numerals appear robust and open, matching the capitals in width and visual weight, which supports display sizes and emphatic typographic hierarchy.
