A robust serif with pronounced, flared stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs that taper into wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a traditional, oldstyle-influenced construction with rounded bowls, a steady vertical axis, and a lively modulation between thick and thin strokes. Uppercase proportions are broad and stable, while the lowercase has compact counters and sturdy arches, producing a dense, confident texture in paragraph settings. Numerals are similarly weighty with clear, open shapes and noticeable serifed or flared finishing strokes.
Well suited to headlines, deck copy, and display text where its flared endings and strong serif structure can read as intentional and refined. It can also support editorial and book-cover typography, particularly for subjects that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, with a bookish, authoritative voice. Its flared terminals and carved-looking endings add a slightly historical, engraved character without feeling overly ornate, lending an assured, editorial presence.
The design appears intended to combine a classical serif foundation with assertive, flared terminals for added personality and impact. It emphasizes presence and tradition, aiming for a confident texture that holds up in prominent typographic roles.
In text, the weight and strong serifs create a darker color and emphatic word shapes, especially in capitals. Terminals on letters like C, G, S, and a show sharp, beak-like finishing touches that contribute to a crisp rhythm at larger sizes.
