A robust serif with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The strokes show gentle modulation, with smooth transitions into terminals and a steady, print-oriented rhythm. Proportions are fairly compact in the capitals with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a tall x-height and open counters for readability. Numerals follow the same sculpted construction, with confident curves and clear, high-contrast interior spaces.
Performs well in headlines and display settings where its sculpted serifs and flared terminals can be appreciated, especially for editorial layouts, book covers, and magazine titling. It can also work for short text blocks or pull quotes when a strong, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, balancing tradition with a touch of expressive, inked warmth. It reads as serious and authoritative without becoming overly delicate, making it feel at home in literary and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added personality through flared, wedge-like endings and softly modulated strokes, aiming for strong impact and a refined, print-centric texture.
Curves and joins often taper into pointed or teardrop-like terminals, creating a consistent “chiseled” silhouette across rounds and diagonals. The design favors sturdy stems and stable spacing, producing a dark, emphatic text color at larger sizes.
