This typeface is a wide-set serif with low stroke contrast and a calm, upright stance. Stems are sturdy and end in subtly flared, bracketed serif shapes that soften joins and give the outlines a gently sculpted feel. Round letters are generously open, with broad bowls and smooth curves, while horizontals and diagonals maintain an even, stable color on the line. Lowercase forms read clearly at text sizes, with a straightforward, moderately sized x-height and crisp punctuation-like details (such as the i/j dots) that stay simple and square.
It suits editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, working well for magazine text, book-style layouts, and longer reading settings with comfortable spacing. The wide, confident capitals also make it effective for headlines, display lines, and brand or institutional communications that benefit from a refined but approachable tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a bookish, editorial sensibility. Its flared endings add a touch of warmth and craft, keeping the voice formal without feeling brittle or overly ornate.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif readability with a broader, more expansive proportion and gently flared finishing strokes. This balances clarity and durability on the page with a subtle, crafted character suitable for contemporary editorial use.
The wide proportions create roomy letterspacing and an unhurried rhythm, which can help longer lines feel breathable. Numerals appear clear and sturdy, matching the serifed structure and maintaining consistent presence alongside capitals and lowercase.
