A sturdy serif with subtly flared terminals and gently bracketed serifs that give strokes a broadened, inked-in finish. The letters show moderate contrast and a slightly calligraphic modulation, with rounded joins and soft inner corners that keep the heavy weight from feeling harsh. Proportions are traditional and readable, with open counters and a calm rhythm; curves (C, O, S) are full and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X) are broad and stable. Numerals are robust and old-style in feel, matching the text weight and maintaining strong presence in display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines and short passages where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired, such as editorial design, book and magazine covers, and heritage-leaning packaging. The weight and pronounced terminals also make it effective for titling and pull quotes where you want authority without a sharp, high-contrast look.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, slightly historic character that suggests print tradition rather than modern minimalism. Its flared endings and softened details add a human, crafted impression that reads as dependable and established.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading-serif presence with a more expressive, flared-stem finish, balancing robustness with a crafted, print-like softness. It aims to feel authoritative and familiar while adding character through widened terminals and gently modeled curves.
Capitals are confident and slightly wide, with distinctive flaring at stroke ends that becomes more noticeable in E/F/T and the angled strokes of V/W. Lowercase forms remain sturdy and legible, with a compact, traditional texture that holds up well in dense lines of text.
