A robust serif with softly flared stroke endings and pronounced, bracketed serifs that create a gentle wedge-like finish rather than blunt slabs. Curves are full and rounded, with moderate stroke modulation and a steady, upright axis. The design favors broad proportions and generous counters, giving capitals a stately, open presence while lowercase forms keep a readable, workmanlike rhythm. Terminals often show subtle beak- or spur-like shaping, and the numerals match the letterforms with sturdy, slightly rounded construction.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial text where a strong serif voice is desired. Its sturdy forms and open counters also make it a good fit for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a traditional, crafted tone.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with an authoritative weight that still reads warm and approachable. The flared endings and softly calligraphic cues add a crafted, slightly old-style character, suggesting tradition and reliability rather than sleek modernity.
Likely designed to deliver a confident, traditional serif impression with added personality through flared terminals and bracketed serifs. The aim appears to be a versatile, high-impact serif that can anchor display typography while maintaining enough clarity for editorial use.
Texture in paragraph settings is dark and even, with clear word shapes and a strong baseline presence. The italic is not shown; the available samples suggest a display-friendly serif that can still hold together in text at comfortable sizes due to its open counters and consistent detailing.
