A sturdy serif with softly flared, bracketed endings and a compact, low-contrast stroke structure. The shapes lean on broad verticals and gently swelling terminals rather than sharp hairlines, giving the letters a carved, slightly calligraphic weight distribution. Counters are generous and rounded, while joins and internal corners are subtly softened, producing a smooth, steady texture in paragraphs. Capitals are wide and authoritative with clear, stable proportions, and the lowercase maintains a readable rhythm with straightforward, upright construction.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine or newspaper-style headings where a strong serif presence is desired. It can also work effectively for posters and brand identities that want a traditional, trustworthy voice with a subtly distinctive flare at stroke endings.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, institutional feel that reads as established rather than trendy. Its flared finishing and solid massing suggest warmth and gravitas, suitable for serious subject matter while remaining approachable in longer passages.
Likely drawn to provide a robust, readable serif for display-to-text use, emphasizing steady color, clear counters, and characterful flared terminals. The design appears intended to balance classic proportions with a slightly sculpted finish that adds personality without sacrificing legibility.
Spacing and silhouette create a consistent dark color at text sizes, with distinctive, slightly wedge-like terminals that help letters stand apart without relying on high contrast. Numerals match the text weight and share the same flared finishing, supporting cohesive typography across headings and running text.
