A robust serif with pronounced flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed connections. Strokes stay largely even, but widen toward endings, creating strong, sculpted serifs and sturdy horizontals. Counters are generous and forms are round-shouldered, with a slightly top-heavy presence in capitals and clear, open lowercase shapes. Details like the curled tail on Q, the two-story g, and the ball-ended 2 and 3 add character while keeping the overall rhythm controlled and highly legible.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and prominent editorial typography where a solid serif voice is needed. It should work effectively for magazine and book-cover titling, institutional or heritage-leaning branding, and pull quotes where strong presence and clear letterforms matter.
The tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that still feels approachable. Its flared endings and classic serif cues suggest heritage and authority, making it read as trustworthy and established rather than neutral or purely modern.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif authority with added warmth through flared terminals and rounded joins. The goal appears to be a display-forward text companion: expressive enough to stand out in titles, while maintaining disciplined proportions and clarity for short passages.
The design emphasizes strong word-shape: wide capitals, firm serifs, and smooth curves that hold up well at larger sizes. Numerals are bold and distinctive, with noticeable terminals and a slightly calligraphic finish on some figures that adds personality without becoming decorative.
