A heavy, sculpted serif with flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that read more carved than slab-like. Strokes are largely low-contrast, with gentle tapering into terminals that gives counters and joins a soft, rounded feel. The proportions are fairly compact with sturdy verticals, wide bowls, and a consistent, slightly condensed rhythm in the lowercase; curves are smooth and full, while diagonals feel strong and stable. Numerals match the letterforms with broad shapes and weighty presence, maintaining even color in text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where a dense, authoritative serif color is desired. It can anchor editorial layouts, book covers, and branded applications like packaging or posters where a classic voice with a crafted edge is beneficial.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial, bookish authority. Its flared detailing adds a touch of warmth and craft, keeping the voice classic rather than austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, readable serif with a carved, flared finish—combining traditional proportions with a sturdy weight to perform reliably in prominent settings.
Lowercase forms show pronounced, rounded bowls and sturdy shoulders, helping it hold together at display sizes while still behaving like a text-oriented serif. The broad, dark texture suggests it will create a strong typographic hierarchy without relying on sharp contrast.
