A robust serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins that give strokes a subtly calligraphic expansion into the ends. Counters are compact and darkened by thick stems, while curves remain smooth and controlled, producing a sturdy, ink-rich texture. The uppercase shows pronounced, sculpted serifs and gently tapered diagonals; the lowercase combines rounded bowls with distinct terminal flicks, keeping the rhythm lively without becoming ornate. Figures follow the same flared logic, with open curves and firm verticals that read clearly in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, title pages, and short-form text where its dark color and flared terminals can be appreciated. It works well for editorial branding, book covers, certificates, and heritage-leaning identities that want a classic serif voice with extra emphasis and texture.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a confident, slightly old-style gravitas. Its flared endings add a hand-touched warmth that feels rooted in print heritage, while the overall weight and tight spacing lend an authoritative, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with flared, calligraphic finishing, creating a distinctive display serif that feels both historic and assertive. The consistent terminal treatment across letters and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive typographic color and recognizable silhouette in prominent settings.
Stroke endings often finish in pointed or teardrop-like wedges, and several letters feature subtle inward curls that enhance personality (notably in curved lowercase and the ampersand). The dense color suggests it will look strongest with generous tracking or at sizes where its terminals have room to breathe.
