A sturdy, calligraphic serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and gently bracketed serifs that suggest broad-pen influence. Strokes show clear modulation without becoming delicate, giving the letterforms a solid, carved presence. Proportions are slightly varied across glyphs, with round characters staying generous and verticals remaining firm; the overall rhythm feels lively rather than strictly mechanical. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with rounded bowls, compact joins, and a noticeably expressive italic-free (upright) slant; numerals appear robust and display-friendly with strong curves and pronounced terminals.
Well-suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and book or album covers where its flared serifs and calligraphic modulation can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form editorial or branding text when a traditional, crafted serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a hint of historical craft. Its confident weight and flared detailing evoke editorial tradition, signage, and engraved lettering, balancing formality with warmth.
The design appears intended to merge formal, hand-drawn calligraphic cues with a durable, print-oriented serif structure, producing a distinctive display face that reads clearly while signaling heritage and craft.
Capital forms feature prominent flaring at stroke ends, creating distinctive silhouettes in letters like A, M, N, and W. The text sample shows strong word-shape clarity and steady spacing, while the energetic terminals add texture at larger sizes.
