A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and distinctly flared, bracketed terminals that give the strokes a carved, calligraphic finish. Capitals are broad and stately with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows energetic, wedge-like entry strokes and compact, rounded bowls that keep counters open at display sizes. Serifs are not blunt slabs; instead they taper and swell from the stems, creating a sculpted rhythm and a slightly “inked” edge in joins and corners. Numerals are heavy and expressive, with curved diagonals and prominent terminal shaping that matches the letterforms.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, cover lines, and title treatments where its flared terminals and contrast can provide personality and hierarchy. It also fits book-cover and magazine contexts that benefit from a classic, high-impact serif voice, and can support branding marks that want a traditional yet distinctive presence.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with a dramatic, old-style warmth that reads as editorial and literary. Its flared endings and high contrast add a sense of ceremony and emphasis, making text feel deliberate and confident rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a more expressive, flared finishing, delivering a strong editorial voice without moving into slab or purely decorative territory. The consistent terminal shaping suggests a focus on creating memorable silhouettes and punchy emphasis for titles and short text.
The typeface maintains a consistent flare language across straight stems and diagonals, and the spacing appears generous enough for impactful headlines. The sample text suggests strongest performance at larger sizes where the terminal shaping and contrast can fully register.
