A sturdy serif with prominent flared stroke endings and a bold, high-contrast presence. Strokes read largely even in thickness at a glance, but with noticeable swelling and tapering into terminals and serifs that create a chiseled, calligraphic rhythm. Curves are round and full, counters are generally open, and joins are crisp, giving the letterforms a clean silhouette at display sizes. Uppercase proportions feel stable and slightly wide in key rounds (C, O, Q), while the lowercase shows a traditional text-roman structure with a two-storey a and compact, upright forms.
Best suited for headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and branding where a classic serif voice needs extra impact. The bold color and distinctive flared terminals make it effective for posters and packaging, especially in short to medium-length text where texture and authority are desirable.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a polished editorial character. The flared endings add a subtle, crafted warmth that keeps the bold weight from feeling purely mechanical, lending a dignified, bookish voice suited to premium communication.
The design appears intended to combine a traditional serif foundation with flared, sculpted terminals to increase visual presence and personality in display settings. It aims for a balance of refinement and strength, producing recognizable word shapes with a distinctive, crafted finish.
Numerals are strong and headline-ready, with clear shapes and confident curves. The sample text shows a consistent rhythm and strong word shapes, with the flaring providing distinctive texture in both capitals and mixed-case settings.
