A wide, flared serif with gently tapering stroke endings and softly bracketed joins. The letterforms are built on sturdy, slightly calligraphic strokes with moderate modulation, producing a clear thick–thin rhythm without becoming delicate. Serifs read as wedge-like and splayed rather than flat, and many terminals finish with subtle curves that round off the overall texture. Proportions are generous and open, with broad capitals and spacious bowls that keep the color even in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a classic, authoritative voice is needed, especially for magazine headings, section openers, and pull quotes. The wide proportions and strong serifs also make it effective for book covers, cultural branding, and display settings where texture and tradition are desirable without feeling ornate.
The design feels literary and traditional, with a warm, confident tone that suggests established publishing and cultured branding. Its broad stance and flared detailing add a hint of old-style character while remaining clean and contemporary enough for modern layouts.
The font appears designed to blend classical serif credibility with a more sculpted, flared finish, aiming for readability and presence across both display lines and longer passages. Its wide proportions and moderated contrast suggest an emphasis on clarity and a confident, editorial voice.
In text, the face maintains a steady, readable cadence with clear word shapes and a solid baseline presence. The figures appear sturdy and display-friendly, matching the same flared, tapered logic seen in the letters.
