A sturdy serif with flared terminals and softly bracketed, wedge-like endings that give the strokes an expanding, carved feel. Curves are generous and slightly organic, with subtle modulation and a mild ink-trap impression at joins in places, keeping counters open despite the heavy texture. The rhythm is lively rather than rigid: widths vary across letters, round forms are full, and diagonals and arms finish with tapered, gently splayed endings instead of blunt cuts. Overall spacing reads comfortable in text, with a dense but not cramped color.
Well suited to headlines and short editorial passages where a strong, characterful serif is desirable. The sturdy forms and open counters make it effective for branding and packaging, and its lively terminals can add warmth and distinction to posters and display typography.
The tone is warm and personable, mixing traditional bookish cues with a contemporary, handmade energy. It feels confident and approachable rather than formal, with enough character to suggest craft and authenticity.
Likely designed to deliver a robust serif texture with a more human, crafted finish than a purely geometric or transitional model. The flared endings and subtle modulation appear intended to add warmth, improve readability at heavier weights, and create a memorable silhouette in display use.
The numerals and capitals share the same flared, slightly calligraphic logic, producing a cohesive voice across alphanumerics. In the text sample, the bold presence holds together well at larger sizes, where the distinctive terminals become a key part of the personality.
