A sturdy serif with softly bracketed, flared stroke endings and a compact, weighty color on the page. The design shows moderate contrast with rounded joins and gently swelling terminals that keep edges from feeling sharp. Proportions are traditional and slightly wide in key rounds, with steady verticals and clear counters; uppercase forms feel stable and monumental, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable rhythm. Numerals are robust and old-style in spirit, with smooth curves and strong vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, traditional serif voice is needed—magazine headlines, deck lines, and book-cover titling. It can also support short to medium-length text in print-oriented layouts where a strong, classic texture is desirable, and works for branding that aims for heritage, credibility, or a cultured tone.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than playful. Its softened, flared terminals add warmth to an otherwise authoritative voice, giving it a composed, established presence in text and display.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif presence with added softness and approachability through flared, bracketed endings and rounded modulation. It aims to balance authority with warmth, producing a dependable, readable texture that still feels distinctive in larger sizes.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q) have full, generous bowls and clean interior space, helping the face stay legible even at heavier sizes. The lowercase shows a prominent ball-like dot on i/j and a single-storey g, contributing a slightly human, book-oriented feel without breaking formality.
