A sturdy serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that read as gently sculpted rather than sharp. The design shows broad, rounded bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q and 0), a compact overall set width, and smooth curvature that keeps the texture even in dense settings. Strokes feel monolinear at a glance, with small optical modulations at joins and terminals; corners are slightly softened, giving the outlines a carved, friendly finish. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with sturdy stems and a moderate x-height, while figures are heavy and compact with rounded counters.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, and display typography where a solid, personable serif voice is needed. It also fits editorial layouts and branding systems that want a traditional foundation with a subtly stylized, flared finish, and can work effectively on packaging or signage when set with comfortable spacing.
The font conveys an editorial, slightly retro tone—confident and emphatic without feeling aggressive. Its flared endings and softened serif treatment add warmth and a crafted, print-like character that feels familiar and dependable.
The design appears intended to merge robust readability with a distinctive flared-terminal signature, delivering a classic serif impression with a more contemporary, sculpted edge. It prioritizes strong typographic color and clear, rounded forms for impactful display use while retaining a familiar serif structure.
Across both uppercase and lowercase, terminals often widen into small wedges, producing a distinctive rhythm in verticals (e.g., i, l, t) and diagonals (v, w, x, y). The dense color and compact proportions support strong word shapes, especially in headlines, while the rounded counters help maintain clarity at larger sizes.
