A sturdy serif with broad proportions and pronounced, subtly flared stroke endings. The serifs are bracketed and wedge-like rather than slabby, and many strokes swell gently into terminals, giving letters a carved, inked-in feel. Counters are open and rounded, curves are smooth, and the overall rhythm is even despite modest width variation across characters. The lowercase shows strong, compact forms with clear differentiation between stems and bowls, while capitals are wide and stable with ample interior space.
Works especially well for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its flared terminals and broad stance can read as intentional character. It also suits editorial design, branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, print-forward serif with strong presence at larger sizes.
The font conveys a confident, traditional tone with a friendly warmth. Its flared details and robust shapes suggest a classic editorial voice—serious and authoritative, but not austere—suited to refined, heritage-leaning typography.
Likely designed to provide a distinctive serif voice that bridges classical letterform cues with a modern, high-impact build. The flared endings and robust shapes appear intended to hold up in prominent settings while maintaining an inviting, editorial texture.
Diagonal joins and intersections (notably in V/W/X and in the arm/leg structures of R/K) feel reinforced and slightly sculpted, supporting strong display use. Figures are similarly weighty and readable, with consistent terminal treatment that helps the set feel cohesive in text and titling.
