A robust serif with sculpted, flaring stroke endings and softly bracketed joins that give the letterforms a carved, ink-pressed feel. Strokes show moderate modulation, with thick verticals and rounded transitions rather than sharp, brittle contrast. Serifs are wedge-like and integrated into the stems, producing a steady horizontal rhythm in capitals and a sturdy, slightly compact color in text. Counters are generous and rounded, terminals tend toward tapered cuts, and the overall texture reads dense but controlled in paragraph settings.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short-to-medium editorial text where a strong, classic presence is desired. It can anchor book covers, cultural branding, and poster typography, and it works well for pull quotes or section openers that need weight and authority without feeling mechanical.
The tone is traditional and confident, leaning toward editorial seriousness and institutional gravitas rather than minimalism. Its flared finishes add a subtle calligraphic warmth, keeping the voice human and crafted while still feeling formal and established.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif conventions with flared, calligraphic finishing to create a confident, display-capable text face. It prioritizes a bold, legible silhouette and a consistent, crafted texture for impactful reading and titling.
Uppercase forms look stately and stable, with broad curves in C/G/O and pronounced, weighty diagonals in V/W/X. Lowercase maintains a strong baseline presence with solid, rounded bowls and a clear, readable rhythm at larger text sizes. Numerals appear sturdy and display-friendly, matching the same flared serif language for a cohesive set.
