A sturdy serif design with gently bracketed, flared stroke endings that widen into wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs. Curves are broad and smoothly drawn, with a calm rhythm and moderate stroke modulation that keeps counters open and legible. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey “a,” compact serifs, and rounded joins; capitals are wide and steady, with generous bowls and clear interior space. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ weight and soft terminal shaping.
It performs well in headlines and subheads where its weight and flared terminals add presence and texture. The even color and open counters also suit editorial typography such as magazine features, book-cover titling, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that aim for a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, balancing authority with a slightly warm, traditional feel. It reads as confident and established—suited to settings where a familiar, literary voice is desirable without feeling overly ornate or delicate.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, sturdy serif with flared, wedge-like terminals that add character and warmth while keeping the overall silhouette highly readable. It aims for a traditional editorial voice with enough distinctive terminal shaping to stand out in display and short text settings.
Stroke endings consistently taper or flare into small wedges, giving the face a subtly calligraphic, carved quality. The “Q” has a clear, prominent tail, and the “g” appears single-storey with a compact ear, reinforcing a friendly, text-oriented character.
