A flared serif with sturdy, slightly tapered stems that broaden into gently bracketed, wedge-like terminals. Proportions are expansive, with generous widths and open counters that keep forms clear at text sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins feel subtly calligraphic rather than mechanical. The lowercase shows a moderate, readable structure with distinct entry/exit strokes, while caps present a steady, even rhythm and strong presence.
Well suited to magazines, books, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired without brittle hairlines. The wide proportions and firm caps also make it effective for headlines, mastheads, and brand systems that need a dignified, established tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with an editorial seriousness that reads as trustworthy and established. Its flared endings add a touch of humanist warmth, keeping it from feeling overly austere while still remaining formal and authoritative.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on traditional serif typography, combining wide, readable proportions with flared terminals to deliver a confident, editorial personality. The design seems aimed at balancing text practicality with a distinctive, crafted finish.
Numerals and capitals appear designed to sit confidently in running text, with ample interior space and stable baselines. The stroke endings and gentle bracketing create a consistent “inked” feel that can read well both in display sizes and in dense paragraphs.
