A robust serif with flared, bracket-like terminals and softly sculpted joins that give the strokes a carved, inked feel. Curves are generously rounded and counters are open, while the overall rhythm stays steady and readable in text. Serifs and terminals vary between small wedges and gentle beaks, with occasional notch-like details at joins that add texture without becoming spiky. Numerals follow the same sturdy, slightly calligraphic construction, keeping a cohesive, traditional color on the page.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book or long-form reading, and other text-forward applications that benefit from a firm, traditional serif voice. It also scales effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work where the flared terminals and carved details can be appreciated.
The tone feels classic and trustworthy, with a warm, slightly old-world personality. Its assertive weight and distinctive flared endings add a hint of heritage signage and print-era charm, making it feel confident rather than delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a readable, traditional serif with added personality through flared terminals and subtly calligraphic shaping, balancing sturdy text performance with a distinctive, heritage-leaning texture.
Uppercase forms read formal and anchored, while lowercase introduces more movement through curved shoulders and subtly expressive terminals. Spacing and proportions suggest it is intended to maintain a consistent, dark typographic color in paragraphs while still offering enough character for prominent settings.
