A robust serif with pronounced flare at stroke terminals and compact, bracket-like transitions into the serifs. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous counters and a steady rhythm, giving lines of text a strong, even color. Curves are smooth and full (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and terminals feel slightly softened rather than razor-sharp. Numerals are weighty and open, matching the letters’ stout, print-forward presence.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and display typography where its strong color and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work well for editorial layouts, packaging, and branding that need a classic serif voice with extra weight and presence.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, combining classical serif cues with a more muscular, contemporary heft. Its flared endings and rounded shapes add warmth and approachability, while the bold presence keeps it authoritative and attention-getting.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif foundation while emphasizing flare and mass for high-impact display use. Its broad proportions and softened details suggest an intention to balance authority with friendliness in modern branding and editorial contexts.
The lowercase shows sturdy, simplified forms with a single-storey g and a straightforward, readable construction, supporting a clean texture at larger sizes. Uppercase shapes remain stable and formal, with a distinctive flared finish that reads as crafted rather than purely mechanical.
