A robust serif with sculpted, flared terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that give stems a subtly carved, wedge-like finish. The letterforms are generously proportioned with broad bowls and a steady rhythm, and the stroke modulation stays restrained, keeping counters open and shapes stable at display sizes. Curves are full and slightly tensioned, while joins and terminals show a soft, chiseled quality rather than crisp hairlines, producing a strong, cohesive texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This face is well suited to headlines and subheads where its flared serifs and strong silhouettes can carry personality without relying on high contrast. It fits editorial packaging, book and magazine covers, and branding systems that need an authoritative, classic voice with a slightly crafted finish.
The overall tone feels confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness tempered by warmth. Its flared endings and sturdy silhouettes suggest a heritage voice that still reads as contemporary enough for brand statements and headlines.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif conventions with a flared, sculptural terminal treatment, prioritizing presence and readability in larger sizes. Its controlled modulation and generous proportions aim for a dependable, high-impact texture in display typography.
Capitals present as stately and wide-set, with a pronounced, anchoring baseline presence. Numerals are heavy and legible with rounded forms that match the font’s broad, stable curves, supporting impactful typographic hierarchy.
