A compact serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and bracketed wedge-like serifs that give the letters a sculpted, chiseled feel. Strokes are sturdy and slightly tapered, with rounded transitions that keep the texture smooth rather than razor-sharp. Counters are moderately open for the weight, while joins and shoulders show a gentle, hand-shaped curvature. The overall rhythm is tight and energetic, with small details—like subtly bulbous terminals and tapered diagonals—adding character without becoming ornate.
Works best for headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine titling, and poster-style typography where its flared terminals can read clearly. It can also support editorial subheads and branding marks that benefit from a traditional, crafted serif presence.
The face reads as vintage and bookish, with a confident, traditional tone that feels suited to heritage contexts. Its flared endings and dense color create a warm, authoritative voice—more classic poster and editorial than minimalist modern.
Likely designed to blend classic serif structure with expressive, flared endings to achieve a sturdy, high-impact text color and a distinctive display personality. The intent appears to be a heritage-leaning serif that feels handcrafted and authoritative while remaining broadly usable for editorial typography.
At display sizes the distinctive flares and tapered forms are most apparent, giving headings a strong, branded silhouette. In longer lines the dense texture and compact proportions create a dark, cohesive paragraph color, favoring confident statements and short-to-medium blocks of text.
