A compact serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and pronounced flaring at terminals and serifs. Curves are broadly rounded with slightly softened corners, giving counters a friendly, open feel despite the dense color. Uppercase forms are tall and steady with clear bracketed serifs, while lowercase maintains a straightforward rhythm with a moderately sized x-height and simple, readable construction. Numerals are sturdy and traditional, matching the text color and the same flared finishing throughout.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where a dense, confident color is beneficial. It also works for editorial pull quotes, book and magazine titling, and packaging or labels that want a traditional, crafted tone. In longer text, it will create a dark, assertive page color, making it best when paired with generous leading and careful size selection.
The overall tone feels classic and slightly old-style, with an inky, printed presence that suggests heritage editorial work rather than sleek modern minimalism. The flared endings add warmth and a crafted, signpainter-like touch, balancing authority with approachability.
Designed to deliver a robust, readable serif with distinctive flared terminals that add character without sacrificing clarity. The intention appears to be a versatile display-and-text hybrid that evokes traditional print while remaining compact and efficient in space.
Texture is even and emphatic, producing strong headline impact and a consistent paragraph color in the sample text. The flaring and soft bracketing are the defining details, creating a subtle calligraphic influence without becoming decorative or high-contrast.
