A sturdy serif with generous weight and low contrast, built from broad, slightly tapered stems that subtly flare into the serifs and terminals. The serifs are bracketed and smoothly connected, giving corners a rounded, cushioned feel rather than sharp precision. Proportions are moderately wide with ample interior space; counters stay open in both uppercase and lowercase, and spacing reads steady in text. Numerals are heavy and clear, with simple, confident forms that match the letter weight and rhythm.
Well-suited for headlines and subheads where a solid serif voice is needed, and it also holds up in short-to-medium passages thanks to its open counters and even spacing. It fits editorial layouts, book covers, and packaging that calls for a classic, trustworthy tone, and can support institutional or formal branding where clarity and gravitas matter.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and composure. Its warm, flared finishing and rounded joins keep it from feeling overly rigid, adding a slightly bookish, heritage character while remaining straightforward and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with added warmth from gently flared endings and bracketed detailing. It aims for strong presence at display sizes while maintaining a consistent, readable texture for text use.
In the sample text the stroke endings and bracket transitions create a soft, ink-on-paper impression, especially in curved letters and diagonals. The lowercase shows a strong, stable texture in paragraph settings, while the uppercase carries a stately presence suited to prominent headings.
