A serif typeface with sculpted, flared stroke endings that read like small wedge serifs rather than blunt slabs. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, and the overall drawing feels sturdy and well-supported, with gently tapered joins and terminals. Capitals are broad and stately with clean, open counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and clear internal space. Numerals appear solid and traditional, matching the same flared, carved-in quality across straight and curved forms.
It performs especially well in headlines and short-to-medium passages where its flared terminals and sturdy contrast can project authority and polish. The face suits editorial typography, book and magazine work, and brand identities that want a traditional, premium voice. It can also serve well for display-forward packaging or signage where a classic serif feel is desired.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial presence. Its flared endings add a subtle calligraphic warmth while keeping a disciplined, formal demeanor. The result feels dependable and slightly monumental, suited to content that benefits from tradition and clarity.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with flared, chiseled terminals to add character and presence while maintaining familiar readability. It aims for a refined, editorial tone that can carry both prominent titles and composed text settings.
The texture in paragraph setting looks even and emphatic, with strong verticals and clear word shapes. Curves are rounded but controlled, and terminals consistently widen into subtle wedges that give the face a distinctive, engraved-like finish without becoming decorative.
