A wide, sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a gently sculpted, chiseled feel. Curves are generous and rounded, while terminals often finish with a slight wedge or swelling, creating a rhythmic, ink-trap-free texture. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable with open counters; the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with rounded bowls, a two-storey “g,” and an “a” with a strong, compact top. Numerals are bold and legible with old-style warmth in the curves and clear differentiation between figures.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where its wide proportions and flared detailing read as confident and classic. It also fits long-form typography—books, magazines, and formal communications—where a warm, traditional serif voice is desired. The robust shapes and clear numerals also make it effective for branding and titling that aims for heritage or authority.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a warm, editorial presence rather than a sharp, modern crispness. Its flared details and sturdy proportions evoke a literary, institutional character—serious and trustworthy, but not austere.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif structure with subtly flared, sculptural stroke endings to create an authoritative yet approachable reading texture. Its broad proportions and sturdy details suggest an emphasis on presence, stability, and comfortable legibility in editorial settings.
The wide set and strong serif/bracketing produce a dark, even color in paragraphs, especially at display-to-text sizes where the flared endings become a defining texture. Diagonals (such as in V, W, and X) feel weighty and balanced, reinforcing the font’s solid, grounded impression.
