A heavy, broad serif with flared stems and wedge-like, cupped terminals that create a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are generous and smoothly rounded, while joins and corners often sharpen into small points, giving the outlines a subtly faceted rhythm. Serifs are not slabby; instead they taper and flare from the stems, with noticeable bracketing and occasional inward notches that read like ink-trap shaping. Counters are open and the overall texture is dark and stable, with a calm, even stroke presence and a wide stance across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium blocks where the wide proportions and flared details can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, magazine/editorial titling, heritage branding, and packaging that wants a traditional voice with strong shelf impact.
The tone feels traditional and authoritative with a vintage print flavor—confident, slightly old-world, and editorial. The flared endings and pointed joins add a touch of craft and theatricality without becoming ornamental, suggesting classic literature, heritage branding, or poster-era display typography.
The design appears intended to blend readability and historical serif cues with a more sculpted, flared-terminal personality. Its wide set and dark color aim to deliver commanding display impact while maintaining the familiar structure of a text-like serif.
The letterforms balance soft bowls with crisp, triangular accents, producing a distinctive silhouette that stays coherent in continuous text. Numerals share the same broad, weighty construction and pointed terminal logic, reinforcing a consistent, poster-ready presence.
