A robust serif with pronounced, flared stroke endings and clearly bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a carved, chiseled feel. The design keeps contrast restrained, relying instead on broad curves, sturdy horizontals, and confident vertical stems for weight. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with generous bowls (B, O) and crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows compact counters and a round, sturdy rhythm; the a is single-storey and the g is double-storey. Numerals are heavy and highly legible, with rounded shapes and strong baseline presence.
Best suited to display sizes where the flared serifs and broad curves can be appreciated—editorial headlines, magazine covers, posters, and brand marks. The strong numerals also make it effective for titles with dates, pricing, or short callouts on packaging and promotional layouts.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, like classic print typography translated into a bold display voice. Its flared endings and weighty silhouettes convey confidence and a slightly ceremonial character without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, readable serif with a classic, print-minded voice, using flared stroke endings and sturdy proportions to add presence and personality in display typography.
Spacing reads open enough for headlines, with strong word shapes in the sample text and clear differentiation between similar forms (I/l/1 and O/0 remain distinct by proportion and detailing). The terminals and serifs create a consistent outward flare that adds warmth and firmness, especially noticeable in C, S, and the curved lowercase.
