A bold, wide serif with sculpted, flaring terminals and pronounced bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast, with sturdy verticals and swelling joins that create a carved, calligraphic feel without becoming delicate. Curves are broad and confident, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is steady and weighty; diagonals and arms often finish in subtly beaked or tapered ends that emphasize the flared construction.
Best suited to display and larger text where its flared details and strong serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book and album covers, branding wordmarks, and posters. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when a classic serif voice with extra weight is desired.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an old-style, bookish warmth tempered by a strong, headline-ready presence. Its flared endings and robust color give it a dignified, slightly vintage character suited to institutions and editorial storytelling.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more sculptural, flared-stem finish, creating a confident display face that still feels rooted in literary typography. It prioritizes strong presence and legibility while adding character through swelling terminals and bracketed transitions.
Uppercase forms read monumental and stable, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a solid baseline presence. Numerals are substantial and highly legible, matching the text weight and contributing to a cohesive, poster-capable texture.
