A sturdy serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than sharply cut. Strokes show gentle modulation and smooth, slightly rounded transitions, with teardrop-like joins and swelling at terminals that adds a tactile, engraved quality. Proportions are compact with a relatively low x-height, generous inner counters, and a rhythm that alternates between broad rounds (C, O) and firm verticals (H, N). Numerals are weighty and display-oriented, with open forms and softly tapered endings that keep the heavy color from feeling blocky.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short passages where its bold color and flared serif detailing can be appreciated. It works well for book and magazine typography, heritage branding, packaging, and poster-style layouts that benefit from a classic yet characterful serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a warm, old-world personality that suggests heritage printing and editorial gravitas. Its rounded flares and softened details keep it approachable, lending a subtly rustic, storybook charm rather than a stark, formal austerity.
Likely intended as a display-forward serif that nods to traditional, print-era letterforms while adding expressive flared terminals for extra personality and impact. The design prioritizes a strong silhouette and a recognizable texture, aiming to feel both established and inviting.
In text, the dense weight and strong vertical emphasis create a dark, confident paragraph color, while the ample counters help maintain clarity. The pronounced flaring and bracketed details become more prominent at larger sizes, where the sculpted terminals read as a distinctive signature.
