A robust serif with wedge-like, flared terminals and softly bracketed joins that give the strokes a subtly calligraphic feel. Curves are full and rounded, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is steady and text-forward. Stroke endings often taper or flare rather than stopping bluntly, creating a slightly “inked” edge at corners and terminals. Uppercase proportions read classical and stable, while the lowercase has a compact, sturdy build with clear differentiation between similarly shaped letters.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong, traditional voice is needed, such as magazines, book interiors, and chapter headings. It also works effectively for headlines, institutional or heritage branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, crafted impression.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a slightly old-style, storybook warmth. Its flared endings and confident weight lend a stately, historical flavor without becoming overly ornate, making it feel authoritative yet approachable.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with flared, calligraphic terminals to achieve a confident, readable texture and a subtly distinctive silhouette. It aims to provide a sturdy text color while adding personality through tapered endings and softened joins.
Serifs and terminals are expressive enough to show personality at display sizes, but the letterforms remain disciplined and consistent for longer passages. Numerals are sturdy and high-contrast in silhouette, matching the text weight and contributing to a strong editorial presence.
