A sturdy serif with noticeably flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that create a gentle wedge/teardrop finish. The letterforms are broad and evenly weighted, with low contrast between thick and thin and a consistent, sculpted silhouette that reads as carved rather than calligraphic. Curves are full and open (notably in C, O, and e), while internal counters stay generous for the weight. The rhythm is steady and vertical, with compact, rounded joins and small notches at some junctions that give a slightly ink-trap-like bite in heavy settings.
Best suited to display and large text where the flared terminals and sculpted serifs can be appreciated—headlines, subheads, book-cover titling, and magazine layouts. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a traditional, crafted voice with strong presence on the page.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, suggesting print heritage and institutional gravitas without feeling delicate. Its flared endings and rounded modulation add warmth and a subtly crafted, old-world character, making it feel literary and editorial rather than purely corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra sturdiness and warmth, using flared stroke endings to enhance impact and maintain clarity at heavier sizes. The broad proportions and low-contrast structure aim for confident readability while preserving a distinctive, carved editorial texture.
Uppercase forms lean toward monumental proportions with strong horizontals and clear, stable bases, while the lowercase maintains a friendly, readable texture in paragraph-like lines. Numerals are bold and open, matching the same flared terminal language and keeping a consistent color across mixed text.
