A sturdy serif with pronounced flare at stroke endings and strongly bracketed serifs that read as sculpted rather than sharp. Curves are full and weighty with compact counters, and the joins often form subtle beak-like shapes that add character in letters like a, c, e, and s. Round letters (O, Q, o) are slightly oval and solid, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a ball-topped i/j, and a distinctly shaped t with a short crossbar, giving the set an assertive, oldstyle-inflected texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and packaging where strong serifs and distinctive terminals can carry tone. It can also work for short editorial blocks and display typography where a traditional, print-forward texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels classic and authoritative with a slightly rustic, print-era warmth. Its flared endings and stout proportions give it a confident, traditional voice that suggests heritage, craft, and editorial gravitas rather than sleek modernity.
The design appears intended to combine conventional serif structure with flared, carved-looking terminals to create a robust display voice that still reads comfortably in short text. Its distinctive joins and terminals add personality while maintaining a cohesive, familiar serif skeleton.
The numerals are heavy and high-impact, with curved forms that match the rounded letterfit and keep a consistent, poster-friendly rhythm. Spacing appears generous enough to keep the dense shapes readable, and the distinctive terminals remain clear at text sizes in the sample.
