A sturdy serif with subtly flared stroke terminals and bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Curves are generous and round, while joins and terminals often show a gentle swelling or taper that creates a lively rhythm across text. The texture is dark and even, with crisp counters and clear interior space, and a noticeable but controlled modulation between thick and thin. Details like the lively diagonals and the distinctive lowercases (notably the hooked and angled terminals) add character without becoming ornate.
Works especially well for headlines, subheads, and short passages where its flared terminals and sculpted serif work can be appreciated. It also suits editorial design, book covers, and branding that aims for a classic-yet-approachable voice. For longer text, it will excel where a dark, confident typographic color is desired.
The overall tone feels warm and literary, with an old-style confidence suited to editorial and bookish contexts. Its flared endings and rhythmic modulation suggest craft and tradition rather than strict modern neutrality. In display sizes it reads as authoritative and personable, while in paragraphs it maintains an inviting, human texture.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif proportions with flared, calligraphic finishing to create a distinctive, contemporary take on a classic reading face. The intent appears to be strong presence and legibility with enough personality to stand out in titles and editorial typography.
Uppercase forms appear stately and slightly wide in their curves, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic, handwritten-like movement in terminals and ear-like details. Numerals are robust and high-impact, matching the strong color of the text and supporting attention-grabbing settings.
