A sturdy serif with broad proportions and confident, weighty strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often flare out from the stems, giving terminals a subtly splayed, chiseled finish rather than sharp slabs. The curves are full and generously rounded, with a measured contrast that keeps counters open even in bold text. Diagonals and joins show slight shaping that reads like ink-sensitive detailing, and the overall rhythm is steady and evenly colored across lines.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover display where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional, craft-leaning tone, and for posters where bold readability and a classic silhouette are priorities.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial presence. Its flared endings and rounded forms add warmth, keeping the voice from feeling overly rigid while still projecting tradition and reliability.
Likely designed to deliver a familiar serif framework with a distinctive flared-terminal character, balancing classical structure with a slightly carved, ink-aware finish for high-impact reading at display sizes.
Uppercase forms feel monumental and stable, while lowercase maintains a readable, text-oriented structure with clear bowls and sturdy stems. Figures appear lining and similarly robust, matching the letterforms’ strong color for headlines and emphasis-driven typography.
