A robust serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and clearly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Strokes show gentle contrast with subtly swelling verticals and tapering joins, creating a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic texture in text. Counters are open and round (notably in O, o, e), while several joins and terminals exhibit a faint ink-trap-like notch that adds crispness at heavier weights. Proportions are sturdy and compact, with confident capitals and a lowercase that balances roundness and vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a strong text color and classic serif presence are desired, including magazine features, book covers, and pull quotes. It also works effectively for branding and packaging that benefit from an established, crafted feel, and for display settings where the flared terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, human presence that reads as established and trustworthy rather than clinical. Its flared detailing and lively shaping give it a distinctive voice—slightly historical and craft-forward—without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a more sculptural, flared finish, producing a distinctive texture and memorable silhouette. It prioritizes confident presence and warm character while maintaining clarity in continuous reading.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. Uppercase forms carry a stately weight, while the lowercase has friendly, rounded details; together they create a strong hierarchy for headlines and short passages. Numerals are full-bodied and stable, matching the text color and serif character of the letters.
