A robust serif with noticeably flared stroke endings and soft, bracketed serifs that blend into the stems rather than terminating abruptly. The letterforms have generous width and a steady, moderately contrasted stress, giving counters a rounded, open feel and producing a strong, even color in text. Curves are full and slightly squarish at turns, while joins and terminals show subtle swelling that suggests a broad-pen influence. Spacing appears comfortable and the overall rhythm is steady, favoring readability with a distinctly shaped, characterful silhouette.
It performs especially well in headlines, packaging, and branding where its flared serifs can carry personality and authority. The even texture and open counters also make it suitable for editorial settings and short blocks of text, particularly when a warm, traditional voice is desired.
The tone is warm and grounded, combining a traditional bookish sensibility with a friendly, slightly rustic confidence. Its flared details and rounded massing give it a crafted, human touch rather than a strictly formal or brittle feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering a sturdy, readable serif with a distinctive flared finish—bridging classic proportions with a more human, crafted stroke behavior. It emphasizes strong presence and clear letter differentiation while retaining an inviting, approachable texture.
Uppercase forms read solid and stable, with prominent serif presence that helps define word shapes at display sizes. Numerals are weighty and clear, matching the letterforms’ flared terminals and maintaining consistent texture alongside the alphabet.
