A sturdy serif with flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like terminals. The design has a compact x-height with relatively tall ascenders, giving lowercase a crisp, vertical rhythm while capitals feel broad-shouldered and authoritative. Curves are generously rounded and slightly heavy through the bowls, with noticeable tapering at joins and terminals that reads as a controlled, calligraphic influence rather than geometric construction. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with varying heights and a warm, traditional texture.
It suits display and headline typography where its bold color and flared serif character can be appreciated—editorial titles, book and magazine covers, packaging, and branding that aims for a traditional, authoritative voice. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes where a dense, classic texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and confident, with a slightly historic, bookish presence. Its flared terminals and weighty forms suggest formality and heritage, while the rounded details keep it approachable rather than austere.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust, traditional serif voice with calligraphic flare, emphasizing strong silhouettes, distinctive terminals, and a compact lowercase for impactful setting.
Spacing looks steady and the heavy color produces a strong typographic block, especially in larger settings. Distinctive details include the flared top on stems (e.g., I and l), the ball terminal on the lowercase f, and the energetic, diagonal movement in letters like Q and R.
