A sturdy, high-contrast serif with strongly modeled strokes and bracketed, flared terminals that give the letters a carved, ink-on-paper feel. Capitals are broad and steady with pronounced serifs and clear vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded counters and a slightly calligraphic modulation. Curves are smooth and weighty (notably in O/Q and numerals), and joins are clean, producing a firm, rhythmic texture that stays legible at display and larger text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where a confident, classical voice is needed. It can also support branding for institutions, cultural organizations, and premium goods, and works effectively in posters or pull quotes where strong typographic presence is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an academic, print-forward character. Its heavy color and refined contrast convey seriousness and heritage, while the flared endings add a subtle handcrafted warmth rather than a purely mechanical rigidity.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with flared, calligraphic finishing, creating a bold reading voice that feels established and print-native. Its proportions and pronounced terminals suggest a focus on impactful display settings while retaining enough structure for short text passages and captions at larger sizes.
Distinctive details include a robust two-storey "g" with a strong ear, a compact double-storey "a," and ball-like terminals on letters such as "c" and "f". Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in feel through their varied silhouettes and pronounced stroke modulation, reinforcing a classic editorial texture.
