A sturdy serif with pronounced flaring into wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins. Strokes are heavy and largely even, with gently widened feet and beaked, slightly concave endings that give letters a carved, ink-trap-like bite without becoming sharp. Counters are moderately open and round, while curves are full and weighty; the capitals feel broad-shouldered and stable, and the lowercase shows compact, readable forms with clear differentiation. Numerals are robust and traditional, matching the text weight and maintaining a consistent, bookish rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, editorial titles, and book-cover typography where a confident serif presence is desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that want a traditional, crafted voice, especially in medium-to-large sizes where the flared terminals and wedge serifs can carry the look.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a slightly vintage, old-style flavor. Its flared terminals and chunky silhouettes suggest print-era seriousness—confident, literary, and a bit ceremonial—without drifting into ornate display theatrics.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, classic serif voice with distinctive flared terminals for recognizability. It balances traditional proportions with bold, carved-looking endings to create a face that feels dependable and editorial while remaining visually characterful.
The face favors strong silhouettes and dark color on the page, with distinctive terminal shapes that become a key identifying feature at headline sizes. In text, the wide, flared endings add texture and a subtly rugged rhythm that reads as intentional and crafted rather than purely neutral.
