A sturdy serif with pronounced flaring and bracketing at stroke terminals, giving stems a subtly sculpted, ink-trap-free presence. Curves are generously rounded and joins are smooth, while counters stay open enough to maintain clarity at larger text sizes. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, with a strong vertical rhythm; lowercase shows conventional, workmanlike construction and a restrained, consistent modulation that reads as calm rather than calligraphic. Numerals are weighty and compact, matching the text color and overall density of the alphabet.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and longer-form reading where a firm, classic serif texture is desirable. It also carries enough weight and presence for headlines, institutional branding, and printed materials that need a traditional but slightly distinctive voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that feels familiar and dependable. Its flared terminals add a touch of warmth and craft, keeping the voice from becoming overly formal or brittle.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident, traditional serif feel with added personality through flared, bracketed terminals, aiming for strong page color and reliable readability. It balances classic proportions with a subtle sculpted finish to stand out in display settings without sacrificing text utility.
In the sample text, the face produces a dark, even texture and holds up well in continuous reading, with clear punctuation and sturdy joins. The flaring at terminals is one of the defining signatures, adding character without introducing decorative eccentricities.
