A sturdy serif with broad proportions and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes are mostly low-contrast with subtly swelling stems that flare into bracketed serifs and wedge-like terminals, giving forms a carved, print-forward solidity. Counters are generally open and round, with slightly squared joins and confident curves; diagonals (V, W, Y) feel weighty and stable rather than sharp. The lowercase is compact and readable, with a single-storey g, a short-armed r, and a gentle, slightly calligraphic shaping in letters like a, s, and y. Numerals are full-bodied and clear, with wide bowls (8, 9) and a distinctive, sturdy 2 and 5.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding where a firm, classic voice is needed. Its broad capitals and sturdy serifs work especially well for headlines, titles, and pull quotes, while the steady texture supports comfortable reading in paragraphs at moderate sizes. It can also lend a premium, traditional feel to packaging and identity systems.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in established institutions. The flared stroke endings add a subtle historical warmth, tempering the heaviness with a crafted, bookish character. It reads as confident and classic rather than decorative or playful.
Likely designed to deliver a robust, traditional serif voice with a subtly sculpted finish, combining strong presence with dependable readability. The flared serif treatment and broad proportions suggest an aim to evoke classic print and engraved letterforms while remaining practical for contemporary text and display use.
The design balances strong horizontals and generous width with carefully controlled spacing, helping dense text remain legible. Terminals and serifs create a consistent, slightly sculpted texture across lines, producing a steady color suitable for longer passages and emphatic headings alike.
