A robust serif with pronounced contrast and flared stroke endings that broaden into bracketed, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic stress, with rounded bowls and strong verticals that read clearly at display sizes. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, while lowercase forms keep a traditional silhouette; the ‘a’ and ‘g’ are two-storey, and several joins and terminals (notably on ‘k’, ‘r’, and ‘s’) show subtle tapering that adds motion. Numerals are sturdy and expressive, with open counters and assertive terminals that match the overall rhythm.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine and book editorial layouts, and prominent typographic statements where contrast and terminal detail can be appreciated. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium voice with a touch of expressive flair.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, combining classical cues with a punchy, contemporary presence. Its flared terminals and crisp contrast lend a sense of drama and craftsmanship, while the wide stance keeps the voice confident and approachable rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with flared, tapered stroke endings for a more sculpted, display-forward personality. It prioritizes strong presence and distinctive terminals while maintaining familiar letterform construction for clear reading in larger sizes.
Spacing appears generous in the sample text, supporting legibility in larger settings and giving the shapes room to breathe. The wedge/bracket treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a unified, slightly formal texture without feeling rigid.
