A sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and gently bracketed joins that soften the overall texture. Strokes remain largely even in weight, while subtle swelling toward ends and corners gives letters a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Counters are relatively open and the curves are full, producing a dense but readable rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height and short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders; details like the single-storey “g,” the short crossbar on “t,” and the angled tail on “Q” reinforce a classical, text-oriented construction.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium passages where a strong serif voice is desired, such as magazine headlines, book titles, and cover typography. It can also support branding and packaging that aim for heritage, craft, or editorial authority, especially at medium and larger sizes.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly old-style warmth rather than a sharp modern austerity. Its flared endings and rounded shaping add a human touch that feels literary and established, suitable for contexts that benefit from credibility and familiarity.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with flared, chiseled terminals to create a distinctive but familiar reading voice. It prioritizes clarity and impact while adding warmth and personality through softened brackets and subtly sculpted stroke endings.
Numerals are robust and highly legible, with simple, stable forms and minimal ornament. Overall spacing and proportions create a steady, compact color on the page, and the terminals provide character without becoming decorative.
