This serif shows sculpted, flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes are moderately contrasted with smooth transitions and bracketed joins, producing a steady rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Proportions feel classical with sturdy capitals and a clear, readable lowercase; round forms are open and counters are generous. Numerals are lining and evenly weighted, matching the text color of the alphabet with similarly flared finishing strokes.
It suits editorial typography, book work, and long-form reading where a strong serif presence is desirable. The sturdy capitals also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a traditional, crafted tone.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its flared terminals add a subtle handmade warmth while maintaining a serious, authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with flared, chiseled terminals to create a distinctive yet text-capable voice. It aims for readability and authority while adding a touch of calligraphic character through its expanding stroke endings.
In text, the font forms a dark, confident color with crisp edges and stable vertical emphasis. The distinctive flared terminals are especially noticeable on strokes in letters like E, T, C, and S, lending personality without becoming decorative.
