A robust serif with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that give the forms a carved, sculptural feel. Strokes show gentle modulation, with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls; joins and terminals are softly shaped rather than sharply mechanical. Proportions are traditional and stable, with clear counters and confident curves, while details like the ear and tail treatments add a slightly calligraphic, old-style rhythm without becoming ornate.
Well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its sculpted serifs and confident weight can carry presence. It also works for book covers and editorial branding that want a traditional, cultivated tone, and can handle short text passages where a strong, classic texture is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and authoritative, with a warm, literary character. It suggests editorial seriousness and heritage without looking overly formal, balancing weight and softness for a grounded, trustworthy voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional serif voice—using flared endings and soft bracketing to evoke calligraphic construction while remaining clean and highly legible. It aims for impact in display sizes while retaining enough restraint to function in editorial typography.
Capitals read monument-like and steady, while the lowercase maintains a lively texture through flared terminals and bracket transitions. Numerals appear solid and legible, matching the serif treatment so they sit comfortably in text and display settings.
