A sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and pronounced bracketed transitions that give the strokes a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Curves are generously rounded, with compact, weighty counters and a steady baseline rhythm, while capitals read broad and monumental. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable construction with a single-storey “a” and “g”, rounded i/j dots, and a “t” with a curved, tapering top. Numerals are robust and old-style in spirit, with noticeable modulation at joins and terminals that adds texture at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where its textured flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work effectively for book covers, packaging, and identity wordmarks that benefit from a classic, literary tone and a strong, confident silhouette.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a stately, slightly storybook warmth. Its flared endings and softened forms evoke classic print and engraved lettering rather than a crisp modernist voice, lending an inviting, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to merge sturdy readability with a distinctive flared-serif personality, offering a traditional voice that feels crafted and slightly calligraphic. It aims to provide a bold, characterful option for display and editorial use while maintaining familiar serif proportions.
Spacing appears moderately open for a heavy serif, helping the dense forms stay legible in text lines. The letterforms show consistent flare behavior across straight and curved strokes, creating a distinctive, lively texture without becoming ornamental.
