A robust serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, subtly flared terminals. Strokes are largely even in weight, with gentle swelling where stems meet serifs and at curve joins, creating a carved, ink-friendly silhouette rather than sharp hairline detail. Counters are generous and round, spacing reads steady in text, and the overall rhythm is calm and even. Uppercase forms are sturdy and classical, while lowercase keeps a compact, workmanlike structure with a single-storey g and a firm, slightly tapered t.
Well suited to magazine or newspaper-style headlines, section openers, and other editorial display settings where a strong serif voice is needed. It also fits branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a classic-but-muscular typographic character.
The tone is confident and editorial, combining a traditional bookish familiarity with a punchy, headline-ready presence. Its flared endings add a touch of craft and gravitas, lending the face a stately, authoritative feel without becoming ornamental.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a durable, readable serif with a distinctive flared finish—balancing traditional proportions with a heavier, more contemporary impact for display and prominent text use.
The design emphasizes strong horizontals and stable curves, with slightly squared-off joins and softened corners that help maintain clarity at heavier sizes. Numerals follow the same sturdy logic, reading solid and consistent with the letterforms.
