A sturdy serif with gently flared terminals and bracketed serifs that broaden into the stems, giving the letterforms a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Strokes are largely even, with subtle modulation and softened joins that keep counters open and shapes readable at display and text sizes. The proportions are compact and stable, with round letters kept generous and verticals feeling weighty; diagonals and arms end in wedge-like, tapered finishes. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, slightly classical construction, maintaining consistent rhythm and color across lines.
Well-suited to editorial design where a strong typographic voice is needed—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover lines. It can also serve branding systems that want a heritage-leaning serif with modern firmness, and works for book jackets or packaging that benefits from a confident, crafted tone.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting confidence and credibility without feeling sharp or brittle. Its flared endings and rounded shaping add warmth and a crafted character, suggesting a blend of classic book typography and contemporary display solidity.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly legible serif that bridges classical proportions with flared, contemporary shaping, creating a distinctive voice that holds up in both display settings and dense text.
The lowercase shows a clear text-first structure with sturdy stems and open apertures, while capitals lean stately and monumental. Overall spacing appears balanced, producing an even texture in paragraph settings and strong presence in headlines.
