A sturdy serif with pronounced flared terminals and compact, wedge-like serifs that read as bracketed and slightly calligraphic. Strokes are confidently heavy with moderate modulation, and joins often thicken into soft, triangular transitions that give the letterforms an inked, carved feel. Counters are generous and rounded, while curves and diagonals keep a consistent, stable rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals match the text weight and share the same flared finishing, producing a cohesive, assertive texture in continuous reading.
Best used for headlines, titles, and pull quotes where its strong weight and flared detailing can be appreciated. It also suits book covers and magazine/editorial design that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif voice. In branding, it can communicate heritage and dependability, especially for institutions, food-and-drink, or craft-oriented identities.
The overall tone is traditional and serious, with a strong editorial voice. Its flared endings add warmth and a subtly crafted character, balancing authority with approachability. The result feels well-suited to heritage, institutional, or literary contexts where clarity and presence are both important.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, traditional serif presence with added character from flared stroke endings, creating a distinctive, crafted texture without sacrificing legibility. It prioritizes impact and recognizability in display settings while maintaining a coherent, readable rhythm in short text.
In text, the heavy color and flared finishing create a slightly sculptural page texture that holds up well at display sizes and short passages. The shapes favor steady horizontals and confident verticals, giving headlines a grounded, emphatic look while keeping individual forms distinct.
