This typeface is a wide, upright serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that broaden out from the stems rather than forming blunt slabs. Strokes show a noticeable but controlled contrast, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep counters open and readable. The proportions feel expansive, with generous letter widths and relaxed spacing; round letters (O, C) are broad and even, while diagonals (V, W, Y) taper cleanly into serifed terminals. Lowercase forms are sturdy and traditional, with clear bowls and modest extenders; the overall rhythm is steady and text-friendly.
It suits editorial typography—magazines, long-form reading, and book interiors—where a wide set and open counters support comfortable scanning. The broad caps and confident serifs also work well for refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems seeking a traditional, cultivated voice without heavy ornamentation.
The tone reads as classic and editorial—confident and well-mannered rather than loud. The flared, slightly calligraphic endings add warmth and a touch of old-style dignity, giving paragraphs a composed, literary feel while still staying crisp and contemporary enough for modern layouts.
The design appears intended to merge old-style warmth with a cleaner, more expansive contemporary footprint. By using flared terminals and moderated contrast, it aims to deliver a distinctive serif texture that remains highly legible in continuous text while adding personality at display sizes.
Serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified texture in mixed settings. Numerals are open and rounded, matching the broad proportions of the letters; the design favors clarity over ornament, with details expressed through flare and subtle bracketing rather than sharp angularity.
