A robust serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and gently flared, bracketed terminals that soften the joins. Counters are open and round, and the overall drawing favors broad curves over sharp angles, giving a smooth, even rhythm in text. Serifs are compact rather than slabby, with subtle modulation at stroke endings that reads as a quiet calligraphic influence. Uppercase forms feel wide and stable, while the lowercase shows familiar text proportions with a clear two-storey a and g, and a firm, readable figure set.
Well-suited to headlines and display typography where a strong, traditional voice is needed, such as magazines, book jackets, cultural posters, and packaging. It can also serve branding systems that want classic serif credibility with a slightly softened, contemporary finish.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting confidence and authority without feeling rigid. Its softened flares and rounded shaping add warmth, making it feel approachable and composed rather than severe.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, high-impact serif for editorial and brand work, combining conventional text-serif structure with subtly flared terminals to add personality and warmth.
In the sample text, the letterforms maintain a steady texture at large sizes, with strong silhouettes and clear differentiation between similar shapes. The numerals appear sturdy and headline-ready, matching the weight and presence of the letters.
