A sturdy serif with flared, bracketed terminals and a generally rounded, cushioned silhouette. Strokes are weighty and steady, with gentle modulation and widened joins that create a carved, slightly calligraphic feel rather than sharp hairlines. Counters are compact but open enough for strong word shapes, and the lowercase shows full, traditional forms with a two-storey “a” and “g,” plus a broad, rhythmic texture in running text. Numerals are substantial and evenly paced, matching the heavy vertical emphasis and the font’s overall grounded presence.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium passages where a strong typographic color is desirable—such as editorial layouts, book jackets, cultural posters, and identity work. It can also serve for pull quotes or section heads where a classic serif voice with extra personality is needed.
The tone is classic and confident, reading as bookish and editorial with a hint of vintage warmth. Its soft flaring and rounded serifs keep it from feeling austere, giving headings a personable, authoritative voice that still feels approachable.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif readability with expressive flared finishing, producing a distinctive, heritage-leaning texture that holds up well in display sizes and prominent text roles.
In the sample text, the heavy color and compact spacing produce a dense, headline-ready texture, while the flared terminals add character at larger sizes. The uppercase has a strong, engraved-like stability, and the lowercase maintains a traditional, old-style rhythm that supports long words and varied letter combinations.
