A sturdy serif with subtly flared stroke endings and small, bracketed serifs that soften transitions. Strokes are broadly even with gentle modulation, and many joins and corners are slightly rounded, giving the forms a polished, less brittle texture. The uppercase is wide and stable, while the lowercase is compact with tight apertures and ball-like dots on i/j; overall spacing reads solid and headline-ready. Numerals are hefty and legible, with rounded bowls and pronounced terminal shaping that matches the text figures’ warm, slightly old-style feel.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its dark color and distinctive terminal shaping can be appreciated. It can support editorial layouts, book covers, and heritage-leaning branding where a classic serif presence is desired.
The typeface conveys a traditional, editorial voice with a touch of vintage charm. Its flared terminals and softened details create a warm, authoritative tone—confident and formal without feeling overly sharp or clinical.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with flared, sculpted terminals for extra warmth and personality. It aims for an authoritative display and editorial voice while keeping letterforms sturdy and highly legible.
In continuous text the rhythm is dense and dark, with noticeable sculpting at terminals that adds character at display sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples read as upright roman. The overall silhouette favors strong verticals and rounded bowls, producing clear word shapes with a classic, slightly decorative finish.
