A robust serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like terminals. Strokes show a gentle, controlled contrast with full bowls and slightly tapered joins, creating a lively but stable rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and weighty, with occasional ball-like terminals and softened corners that give the silhouettes a slightly inked, organic feel. The lowercase is sturdy with clear counters and a compact, readable build; capitals are broad-shouldered and authoritative with crisp, angular serif cuts.
Best suited for headlines, magazine and book typography, and other editorial settings where a strong serif voice is desired. The sturdy shapes and clear numerals also work well for posters, packaging, and branding applications that benefit from a classic-but-expressive tone.
The overall tone feels editorial and retro, combining traditional bookish cues with a bold, display-ready presence. Its flared detailing and rounded terminals add warmth and personality, suggesting a confident, crafted voice rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional serif proportions with energetic flared endings, delivering a font that reads confidently in text while offering distinctive personality in display sizes.
Numerals are heavy and highly legible, with strong differentiation and consistent terminal treatment across the set. The design maintains a cohesive texture in continuous text, while the pronounced flaring and wedge serifs become more characterful at larger sizes.
