A sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and gently bracketed joins that give strokes a subtly sculpted, inked feel. The letterforms are broad and open, with round counters and a steady rhythm that stays readable even at heavier weight. Curves show mild modulation and slightly softened transitions, while horizontals and diagonals end in tapered, serifed finishes rather than blunt slabs. The lowercase has compact, rounded shapes with short ascenders and a small ear on the “g,” contributing to an even, text-friendly texture.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a bold, classic voice is needed. It also fits editorial branding, book covers, and packaging that benefit from a traditional serif with a crafted, slightly calligraphic finish. In larger text blocks it can work for short passages where strong typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is warm and traditional, suggesting printed, editorial typography rather than hard-edged modernism. Its flared endings and softened contours add a human, slightly rustic touch that feels inviting and confident. The bold color makes it assertive without becoming harsh.
Likely designed to combine the authority of a traditional serif with the lively, human character of flared terminals. The emphasis appears to be on bold readability and a distinctive, print-like texture that holds up in both display and short-form text.
Numerals are solid and highly legible, matching the serifed, flared detailing of the letters and maintaining consistent weight and presence. The bold punctuation and strong capitals support display settings, while the rounded lowercase and open counters keep longer lines from feeling cramped.
