A classic serif with bracketed, slightly flared terminals and a measured, bookish rhythm. Strokes show moderate modulation with crisp hairlines and sturdier verticals, while the serifs read as wedge-like and gently curved rather than blunt. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, with open bowls and a confident horizontal emphasis; lowercase maintains a conventional structure with a readable, moderate x-height and generous counters. Numerals appear lining and similarly wide, with smooth curves and clear internal space that keeps figures distinct at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and journal titling, and other settings where a traditional serif voice is desirable. The wide set and open counters help it hold up in larger sizes for display, while the steady rhythm also supports short-to-medium text passages such as pull quotes, decks, and captions in print layouts.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting established publishing and institutional typography. Its broad proportions and crisp serifs give it a ceremonial, slightly emphatic voice without becoming ornamental.
Likely drawn to offer a conventional text-serif foundation with extra horizontal presence, combining familiar proportions with slightly flared, bracketed finishing for a refined, print-oriented look.
The face leans on width for presence: letters occupy space comfortably, creating a calm, stately texture in lines of text. Curved letters show clean joins and controlled contrast, while diagonals and arms end in subtle flares that add a faint calligraphic sparkle.
