A sturdy serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and clearly bracketed serifs that give the outlines a carved, inked feel. Stems are weighty and slightly tapered, with moderated contrast and a subtle calligraphic stress that shows in curved letters and diagonal joins. Counters are compact and the curves are full, producing a dense, confident color in text. Numerals follow the same robust rhythm, with rounded forms and firm, wedge-like finishing details that match the capitals.
Best suited to headlines, book and chapter titling, editorial pull quotes, and brand marks that want a classic serif voice with a distinctive, flared finish. It can also work for short paragraphs or captions when set with comfortable size and spacing to keep counters open and letterforms clear.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a slightly literary, old-style warmth rather than a sharp modern crispness. Its flared endings and sculpted details suggest heritage and craft, lending a confident, established voice to headlines and emphasized text.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with expressive flared terminals, offering a familiar reading profile while adding a crafted, engraved-like character. It aims to project solidity and tradition without resorting to rigid, mechanical forms.
The face maintains a consistent rhythm across uppercase and lowercase, with energetic diagonals and slightly animated curves that keep the texture from feeling static. At larger sizes the flared terminals read as a distinctive signature detail; in smaller settings the weight and compact counters encourage careful spacing and sufficient size for clarity.
