A robust serif with distinctly flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins that give strokes a carved, expanding finish. The letters have a steady, upright posture and a slightly triangular stress in rounds, with compact counters and crisp internal corners. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, while the lowercase shows sturdy verticals, a two-storey “a,” and a compact, bookish texture that stays even in longer lines. Numerals are weighty and traditional in construction, matching the strong serif treatment and maintaining clear silhouettes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and display settings where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. It can anchor headlines and subheads with authority, and it also works for branding, packaging, and poster typography that benefits from a classic, crafted feel.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a warm, old-style presence that suggests printed tradition rather than stark modernity. Its flared endings and sculpted forms add a subtle historic and craft-oriented character, lending a serious, literary voice that still feels personable.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with expressive flared terminals, creating a sturdy reading texture that also carries distinctive personality at larger sizes. It aims for clarity and gravitas while adding a subtle hand-worked or carved nuance through its expanding stroke endings.
The flaring at stroke ends is a key signature, creating a gentle widening that reads more like a chiseled or engraved finish than a sharp hairline serif. Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for continuous reading, producing a dense, confident color in paragraph settings while keeping individual letterforms clearly differentiated.
