A sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals and subtle stroke modulation that gives the letterforms a carved, hand-tooled feel. Stems often swell into the ends, creating soft, bracketed joins rather than abrupt slab-like blocks. Curves are generous and slightly compressed, with rounded shoulders and tightly managed counters that help the design hold together at display sizes. The lowercase shows lively shapes—most notably in the ear and bowl of “g,” the angled joins of “k,” and the high-contrast-looking intersections created by flaring rather than sharp hairlines—while numerals are compact and weighty with strong internal shapes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, book covers, and poster typography where its flared terminals and dark color can add personality and authority. It can also work for branding and packaging that wants a traditional, crafted feel, especially in short-to-medium text settings where the strong rhythm remains legible.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, but with an artisanal edge that feels more human than strictly bookish. Its flared endings and slightly calligraphic rhythm suggest tradition, craft, and authority without tipping into ornate or formal blackletter territory.
The design appears intended to combine a traditional serif structure with expressive, flared stroke endings to create a distinctive display voice. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a rich typographic color, aiming for an editorial/classic impression with a tactile, hand-shaped character.
The capitals read as monumental and sign-like, with clear silhouettes and assertive terminals. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize broad curves and tapered/expanded endings, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a chiseled, wedge-driven character. Spacing appears comfortable for headline use, and the texture in paragraphs is dark and even, favoring impact over airiness.
