A flared serif with wedge-like terminals and sturdy, sculpted stems. Curves are smooth and slightly bracketed into the main strokes, while many horizontals end in sharp, tapered points that give the letters a crisp, carved feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with relatively short extenders, creating a compact vertical rhythm, and counters stay moderately open despite the heavy color. Round letters (o, e, c) are slightly oval, and the numerals follow the same sturdy, tapered-terminal logic for a consistent, print-forward texture.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads where the crisp flares and strong rhythm can carry emphasis. It also holds together in paragraphs for book or magazine typography when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired, and can support branding applications that want a classic serif with a slightly sharpened edge.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional, with a confident, institutional presence. Its sharp, flared endings add a subtle calligraphic edge that reads as refined rather than decorative, giving text a serious, literary voice.
Likely designed to blend classical serif proportions with flared, tapered terminals to achieve a carved, print-centric character. The goal appears to be an assertive, readable text-and-display face that feels traditional but not generic.
In running text the font produces a dark, even typographic color with clear word shapes, helped by strong vertical stress and decisive terminals. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman, with the flared terminals doing most of the expressive work.
