A sturdy serif with generously weighted strokes and noticeably flared, bracketed endings that give the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are full and smooth, with moderate stroke modulation and a consistent rhythm that keeps the texture dense but readable. Capitals feel broad and stable with emphatic terminals, while lowercase forms maintain an even x-height and rounded bowls; details like the ear on the g and the angled tail on the Q add personality without breaking consistency. Numerals are heavy and clear, matching the text weight and sharing the same flared, softly tapered finishing.
Well-suited to headlines, book and magazine titling, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, stately serif voice. It can also serve for short-to-medium editorial text blocks where a firm, classic texture is desired, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a warm, bookish character that suggests heritage and formality. Its flared endings and robust shapes add a touch of editorial drama, making it feel confident and slightly old-world rather than clinical.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with flared, sculpted terminals to deliver a robust, display-friendly voice that still functions in text. Its consistent modulation and emphatic finishing aim to provide authority and warmth while maintaining legibility.
The strong terminals and flaring create a pronounced silhouette that reads well at display sizes and gives headings a distinctive presence. In paragraphs, the dense color and prominent serifs produce a classic page texture, better suited to moderate-to-large sizes where the detailing can breathe.
