A sturdy serif with bracketed, subtly flared stroke endings and a clear, traditional skeleton. Strokes show noticeable contrast without becoming delicate, and the joins are softened, giving curves and diagonals a slightly sculpted feel. Capitals read broad and stable, while lowercase forms are compact with sturdy stems and open counters; the overall rhythm is even, with comfortable spacing and strong color on the page. Numerals appear robust and straightforward, matching the text weight and maintaining consistent proportions and contrast.
It performs well in headlines, subheads, and display settings where a confident serif presence is desired. The strong weight and steady texture also make it a good fit for editorial layouts, book-cover typography, and brand systems that want a traditional, premium voice with a slightly contemporary smoothness.
The face conveys an editorial, dependable tone—authoritative without feeling sharp or ornate. Its flared finishing and rounded transitions add a touch of warmth, suggesting a classic, bookish character suited to serious but approachable communication.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model by combining firm, readable structures with gently flared terminals and softened transitions, creating strong impact while retaining an elegant, literary sensibility.
Serifs and terminals feel gently tapered rather than blunt, helping large sizes look refined while keeping smaller sizes visually solid. The sample text shows consistent texture across lines, with strong emphasis in headings and clear differentiation between key letterforms.
