A sturdy serif with gently flared terminals and a pronounced, sculpted silhouette. The letterforms are built from broad strokes with softened curves and modest modulation, giving a carved, slightly calligraphic impression without becoming delicate. Uppercase shapes are wide and stable, with generous bowls and counters; the lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact ascenders, supporting strong color in text. Serifs read as tapered and integrated into the stems rather than sharp, with subtle bracketing and rounded joins that keep heavy strokes from feeling brittle.
Best used for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial text where a strong typographic voice is desired. It also suits branding and packaging that benefit from a classic, crafted serif presence with high impact at display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, combining a traditional, bookish presence with a contemporary boldness. Its flared endings and broad proportions lend a warm, crafted quality that feels authoritative rather than austere, making it well suited to confident headlines and branded statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added emphasis and warmth through flared stroke endings and broad proportions. It aims for high readability at larger sizes while providing a distinctive, sculpted texture that stands out in editorial and identity work.
Round letters (like O/C/e) maintain open interiors, and diagonals (V/W/Y/X) stay clean and weighty, producing a consistent rhythm across all-caps settings. Numerals are similarly robust and readable, matching the alphabet’s wide stance and soft terminal treatment.
