A compact, dark-textured serif with sturdy verticals and gently widening stroke endings that read as flared, softly bracketed serifs. The contrast is moderate, with rounded joins and subtly calligraphic modulation that keeps strokes from feeling purely mechanical. Curves are full and slightly asymmetric, and terminals often end in small wedges or hooked shapes, creating a lively rhythm across words. The overall fit is tight, producing a dense, authoritative color in text and strong silhouette in display sizes.
Well-suited for headlines and short passages where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired—such as book covers, editorial titling, posters, and heritage-leaning branding. Its dense color and distinctive terminals can add character to logotypes and packaging, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes for clarity.
The font conveys a traditional, slightly old-world tone with a hand-shaped, print-era character. Its flared endings and crisp wedges add a touch of drama and ceremony, while the rounded forms keep it approachable rather than severe. The resulting impression is classic and bookish, with a faint rustic or medieval echo.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif letterforms through a flared, hand-cut finish that strengthens presence and adds period flavor. It prioritizes strong word shapes and a decorative-but-readable texture for expressive typography in display and titling contexts.
Uppercase forms appear robust and sculptural, while lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with distinctive wedge-like terminals (notably on letters such as a, c, e, r, and s). Numerals share the same carved, flared logic, helping mixed text feel visually consistent.
