A sturdy serif with gently flared stroke endings and small bracketed serifs that create a subtly sculpted, inked-in look. Curves are full and open, with generous counters and smooth transitions where strokes meet, keeping the rhythm steady and readable at text sizes. The uppercase is broad and solid with clear, traditional proportions, while the lowercase shows friendly roundness and noticeable modulation through flare rather than strong contrast. Numerals are robust and highly legible, matching the same softened, slightly tapered terminal behavior seen in the letters.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where a strong serif voice supports comfortable reading. It also performs well in headlines and subheads, delivering a traditional, authoritative presence for branding, publishing, and institutional communications.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting reliability and tradition without feeling overly formal. Its softened flare and rounded shaping add warmth, making it feel approachable and bookish rather than severe. The result reads as confident and established, suited to settings where credibility and clarity matter.
Likely designed to combine dependable serif conventions with a subtly contemporary flare, delivering a robust texture that holds up in print and screen contexts. The emphasis appears to be on legibility and an inviting, established voice rather than delicate detail.
Terminals often widen subtly as they approach their ends, giving strokes a carved or ink-spread character. The forms avoid sharp, brittle details; instead, joins and corners are eased, which helps maintain clarity in dense text and at smaller sizes.
