A robust serif with gently flared strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that broaden into the terminals. The forms are roomy and stable, with broad proportions, generous counters, and a strong baseline presence. Contrast is moderate and consistent, with rounded joins and softened transitions that keep the texture even in dense setting. Lowercase shows compact ascenders and a sturdy, two-storey “g,” while numerals are weighty and highly readable with ample interior space.
Best suited to display and headline typography where its wide stance and strong serifs can deliver impact. It also works well for editorial titling, book covers, and branding systems that need a traditional, trustworthy voice with a touch of warmth.
The font conveys a classic, authoritative tone with a warm, literary feel. Its broad, confident shapes read as traditional and dependable rather than delicate, making it feel at home in formal or heritage-leaning contexts.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif authority with a softer, more organic flare at stroke endings, producing a readable, high-impact texture. It emphasizes clarity and presence, aiming for a timeless look that remains approachable in modern layouts.
The sample text shows a dark, cohesive color on the page and clear word shapes at larger sizes. Flared terminals and sturdy serifs add emphasis without the rigid, blocky feel of a slab, giving the design a subtly calligraphic finish while remaining firmly upright.
