A sturdy serif with flared, tapered stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Stems are thick and confident, with moderate modulation and smooth joins that keep counters open despite the weight. The lowercase shows a traditional, two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a slightly calligraphic rhythm where terminals swell and taper instead of ending flat. Numerals are heavy and rounded, with clear interior spaces and understated curvature that matches the text weight and texture.
Well-suited to headlines and editorial titling where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. The robust shapes and distinctive flared terminals also work well for branding and packaging that aims for heritage or craft cues, and for posters that need impact without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, with a classic print flavor that reads as dependable and established. The flared detailing adds warmth and a subtle human touch, keeping the voice from feeling purely formal or corporate.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, readable serif voice with traditional proportions, enhanced by flared terminals that add personality and a crafted, print-oriented feel. The intention appears to balance strong presence with comfortable text rhythm and clear counters.
In text, the face builds a dark, even color with strong word shapes and stable spacing, making it feel comfortable at larger text and display sizes. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) show a smooth, generous roundness, while the flared terminals add distinctive character without looking ornamental.
