A robust serif with sculpted, flared terminals and firmly bracketed serifs that give strokes a chiseled, carved feel. Proportions are fairly compact with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and pronounced wedge-like joins that create a steady, insistent rhythm in text. Curves are smooth but not delicate, with crisp apertures and clear counters; overall color is dense and even, designed to hold up at display and strong text sizes. Figures are weighty and traditional in stance, matching the letters’ solid, print-forward construction.
Well suited to magazine headlines, section titles, and pull quotes where a strong serif presence is desired. It can also serve book typography and long-form editorial when set with comfortable leading, and it works for branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, trustworthy voice.
The tone is editorial and traditional, suggesting credibility and permanence rather than minimalism. Its confident, slightly old-style flavor feels suited to serious contexts—bookish, institutional, and heritage—while still reading cleanly and contemporary enough for modern layout.
Likely designed to combine traditional serif authority with a more sculpted, flared finishing that adds character and warmth. The goal appears to be strong legibility and a stable text rhythm, with enough distinctive shaping to stand out in editorial and brand applications.
The face shows consistent flare behavior at stroke ends and joins, producing a subtly calligraphic swell without becoming overtly script-like. Capitals feel monumental and well-balanced, while the lowercase keeps a clear, workmanlike texture for paragraphs and headlines alike.
