A robust serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a sculpted, ink-printed feel. Strokes are relatively even with subtle modulation, while terminals and joins show slight irregularity that keeps the texture lively rather than rigid. Counters are generous and bowls are round, with a slightly bouncy baseline impression in the lowercase; the overall rhythm is compact and energetic. Figures are sturdy and readable, matching the letters’ weight and curved, tapered details.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a strong, characterful serif is desired, such as posters, editorial features, and book covers. Its sturdy figures and dark color also make it effective for packaging, signage, and brand marks that benefit from a warm, vintage-leaning presence.
The font conveys a warm, familiar tone with a hint of old-style charm—confident and approachable rather than formal. Its lively stroke endings and slightly playful shapes suggest hand-influenced printing and lend personality to short texts without feeling decorative. The overall color is dark and emphatic, creating a bold, inviting voice.
Likely designed to blend classic serif legibility with a more handcrafted, flared-stem personality, creating a distinctive texture at larger sizes. The aim appears to be a confident display serif that remains readable while adding warmth and movement to the page.
Uppercase forms read strongly with clear, classic silhouettes, while the lowercase adds character through soft, rounded construction and distinctive terminals. The flared finishing on stems and the consistent heft across letters and numerals help maintain cohesion in both display lines and dense sample text.
