A serif typeface with sturdy proportions, moderately modulated strokes, and distinctly flared, bracketed terminals that give the letters a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with generous interior space and clear, traditional construction. The lowercase shows a compact, readable rhythm with pronounced serifs and softly swelling joins, maintaining consistent color across text. Numerals are sturdy and open, matching the overall weight and terminal treatment for cohesive setting.
Well suited to headlines, book and magazine typography, and identity work where a traditional serif voice is desired. It performs especially well in larger sizes for titles and pull quotes, and can also support body text where a strong, classic texture is appropriate.
The overall tone feels classical and institutional, with a confident, literary voice. Its flared endings add a touch of warmth and craft to an otherwise formal, authoritative presence, lending a subtle historical and engraved character without becoming decorative.
The design appears aimed at combining traditional serif forms with flared, sculpted endings to create a dignified, readable face that stands out in display settings while retaining a text-capable rhythm and structure.
In text, the face holds together with a dense, even texture and strong word shapes. The serifs and flared terminals remain prominent at larger sizes, contributing to a distinctive silhouette suited to display while staying structured enough for extended reading.
