A robust serif with noticeably flared, bracketed terminals and a gently modulated stroke that suggests a broad-nib influence. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, O, and e), while verticals feel sturdy and slightly tapered into the serifs rather than ending abruptly. Capitals read stately and compact with strong presence; lowercase maintains clear, familiar forms with a two-storey a and a compact e, and an overall steady rhythm. Numerals are weighty and highly legible, with open counters and traditional proportions that align well with the text color of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a strong, traditional serif voice is needed, including book interiors, magazine articles, and newspaper-style layouts. The weight and pronounced terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and poster-style statements where a classic but energetic serif presence is desirable.
The tone is classic and self-assured, with a warm, slightly old-style flavor that feels rooted in editorial and literary typography. Its flared endings add a subtle crafted character—less rigid than a modern serif, but more formal than a casual text face—creating an authoritative, bookish impression.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional reading experience with added character through flared, calligraphic terminals, aiming for both authority and warmth. The goal appears to be a dependable serif texture for text, paired with enough distinctive shaping to hold up in larger sizes.
Spacing and color appear even in paragraph settings, producing a dense, confident texture suitable for sustained reading. The design balances broad, rounded bowls with crisp triangular and wedge-like serif cues, giving it a distinctive silhouette in display sizes while remaining composed in text.
