A sturdy serif with flared, tapering strokes and broad, softly bracketed serifs that often finish in teardrop-like terminals. The letterforms are round and full, with generous bowls, moderate apertures, and a steady, even rhythm that favors solid color over delicate detail. Curves transition smoothly into stems, and corners are softened, giving capitals and lowercase a sculpted, slightly calligraphic presence without visible slant. Numerals are weighty and rounded, matching the text’s compact, confident texture.
Well suited to headlines and subheads in magazines, cultural/editorial layouts, and book-cover typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and poster work that benefits from strong, sculpted letterforms and a traditional-but-characterful presence.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial—confident, established, and a bit warm rather than austere. Its chunky, flared detailing lends a handcrafted seriousness that reads as literary and institutional, suitable for headings that should sound trustworthy and timeless.
The design appears intended to merge robust readability with a distinctive flared-serif signature, delivering a classic serif feel while adding sculpted terminals and softened transitions for personality at display and titling sizes.
At display sizes the flared joins and terminal shapes become a defining feature, creating a distinctive silhouette in letters like C, G, S, and the diagonal forms. The texture is dense and cohesive, with clear word shapes and a slightly decorative edge that remains controlled rather than ornate.
