A robust serif with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that give stems a carved, calligraphic finish. The design shows moderate stroke modulation, with strong verticals and rounded forms that feel slightly sculpted rather than purely geometric. Curves are full and open, counters are generous, and joins and brackets are smoothly handled, producing an even, steady rhythm in text. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and readable, compact forms.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes—where a classic serif voice with extra character is desirable. It can also serve in book-oriented contexts (chapter titles, introductions, and feature text) and in branding systems that need a traditional, trustworthy tone with a slightly crafted edge.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial polish that suggests print heritage. Its flared endings and softened modulation add warmth and tactility, keeping it from feeling sterile while still reading as serious and composed.
Likely designed to provide a familiar serif foundation while adding personality through flared terminals and wedge serifs. The intention appears to balance text-readability with a more expressive, crafted texture for prominent typographic moments.
The numerals and capitals carry a confident, display-capable presence, while the lowercase remains structured enough for paragraph settings. The combination of strong stems and tapered, flaring terminals creates a distinctive silhouette that holds up well at larger sizes.
