A robust serif with broad proportions and a steady, upright rhythm. Strokes are generally low-contrast, with stems that subtly broaden into the serifs and terminals, creating a gentle flared impression rather than hard slab endings. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) feel full and open with ample counters. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height and compact joins, while the overall spacing reads comfortable and even at text sizes.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads, book and magazine typography, and brand systems that need a confident, heritage-leaning serif. Its sturdy build and open forms also make it a strong option for packaging, posters, and identity work where clarity and gravitas are desired.
The tone is classic and authoritative with a warm, slightly old-style softness. It feels bookish and editorial, projecting trust and permanence while remaining approachable rather than sharp or austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif: broad, readable shapes with softened, subtly flared endings that add warmth and distinction without sacrificing solidity. It aims to balance tradition and presence for prominent typographic roles in print-like settings.
The numerals are sturdy and legible with consistent weight and clear silhouettes; the “0” is oval and open, and the “1” has a pronounced serifed structure. Diagonals in letters like V, W, X, and Y are strong and stable, reinforcing a confident, traditional voice.
