A sturdy serif with wedge-like, flared stroke endings and soft bracket transitions that give the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Strokes are generously weighted with moderate contrast and rounded stress, producing dark color on the page without looking rigid. Counters are open and the x-height reads tall, while the lowercase shows a compact, upright rhythm with clearly differentiated shapes. The numerals are heavy and steady, with traditional proportions that match the text weight and overall color.
Well-suited to headlines and display sizes where its flared terminals and wedge serifs can show character, while the tall x-height and open counters also support short-to-medium editorial text. It works particularly well for book and magazine contexts, cover lines, pull quotes, and brand applications that need a classic, trustworthy tone.
The face communicates a traditional, editorial tone—confident and authoritative, but with enough warmth in its flared terminals to feel approachable rather than austere. Its strong presence evokes book typography and heritage branding, lending text a grounded, established character.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with subtly flared, wedge-like finishing to create a robust, legible text face that also carries distinctive personality in display settings. It aims for strong readability, stable color, and an editorial voice that feels established and premium.
The silhouettes lean on sturdy verticals and tapered joins, creating a subtle “inked” texture at corners and terminals that helps prevent forms from feeling blunt at large sizes. The overall spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, with a consistent dark rhythm across mixed-case sample text.
