This typeface is a sturdy serif with softly bracketed, flared stroke endings and a generous, dark color on the page. Curves are full and rounded, with smooth transitions into stems; terminals frequently widen into gentle wedges rather than ending in sharp hairlines. Uppercase forms feel broad-shouldered and stable (notably in letters like M, N, and W), while round letters maintain even, open counters. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable construction with pronounced serifs and a compact, weighty rhythm that holds up well in continuous text.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book jackets, and section titles where a strong serif personality is desirable. In longer passages it maintains a dense, readable texture, making it appropriate for print-oriented layouts, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a traditional but substantial serif.
Overall it conveys a classic, editorial tone with a confident, slightly traditional voice. The strong presence and softened shaping keep it formal without feeling brittle, lending a dependable, print-like character to headlines and paragraphs alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, high-impact serif for both display and text, combining traditional proportions with flared, softened endings to create a warm but authoritative reading experience.
Numerals share the same robust, serifed construction, with clear silhouettes and strong baseline presence. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent, text-forward design where spacing and massing favor solidity and clarity.
