A robust serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and bracketed serifs that give stems a gently tapered, carved feel. Curves are full and controlled, with moderate stroke modulation and crisp joins that keep counters open even in bold text sizes. The capitals feel stately and slightly wide, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals are sturdy and legible, matching the text weight and sharing the same flared finishing on horizontals and stroke ends.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine titling, and book-cover typography where a confident serif voice is needed. It can also serve in branding and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy tone, especially at display sizes where the flared terminals become a defining feature.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, evoking book typography and institutional print design. Its flared endings and confident weight add a slightly sculptural, engraved character, making it feel traditional yet assertive rather than delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with flared, wedge-like stroke endings to increase presence and clarity in bold settings. It aims for a dignified, print-forward texture that reads cleanly while retaining a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish.
In text settings the letterforms hold together into a dark, even color with strong word shapes, while the pronounced terminals and brackets add texture at larger sizes. Diagonals and curved strokes maintain clean edges, supporting high-impact headlines without losing typographic restraint.
