A sturdy serif design with broad proportions and a compact, even color on the page. Stems subtly widen into flared, wedge-like terminals, and the serifs read as bracketed and gently sculpted rather than flat slabs. Curves are full and smooth with restrained contrast, giving bowls and counters a robust, stable presence. Overall spacing feels generous and consistent, supporting legibility in continuous text while keeping a strong headline silhouette.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in display roles—section heads, pull quotes, and branding—where its flared terminals and dense texture create a distinctive, confident presence.
The font conveys a classic, established tone—authoritative without feeling delicate. Its weight and flared endings add a sense of confidence and editorial gravitas, with a slightly old-style warmth that feels at home in traditional publishing contexts.
The design appears aimed at delivering a dependable, traditional serif texture with added character from flared stroke endings. It balances readability and authority, providing a familiar typographic voice that still feels sculpted and intentional in larger sizes.
Uppercase forms appear particularly solid and monumental, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady rhythm. Numerals share the same sturdy, wedge-terminal logic, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive.
