A serif text face with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and a steady, upright rhythm. Stems terminate in subtly flared, bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically slabbed, and curves are smooth with generous, open counters. Uppercase forms are wide and stable; the lowercase shows rounded bowls and clear joins, with a two-storey a and compact, straightforward constructions. Numerals are similarly wide and even, with soft curvature and clear differentiation, maintaining a consistent color across lines of text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a traditional serif voice is desired. The wide proportions and sturdy shapes also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that aim for a classic, established presence.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, projecting trust and formality without feeling ornate. Its broad stance and calm detailing read as authoritative and composed, suitable for serious, traditional typography.
Likely intended as a modernized, readable serif that combines broad, open forms with gently flared terminals to provide a distinctive yet restrained texture for editorial and branding settings.
Spacing appears comfortable at display and paragraph sizes, and the flared terminals add warmth and structure while keeping edges crisp. The wide set and open apertures support legibility, while the serif treatment lends a refined, bookish character.
