A sturdy serif with flared terminals and softly bracketed feet, giving stems a subtly swelling, sculpted finish. The letterforms show noticeable stroke contrast: bowls and curves carry fuller weight while joins and connecting strokes tighten, creating a lively rhythm in text. Counters are generous and largely round, with a relatively large x-height and compact ascenders that keep lowercase forms dense and readable. Capitals are broad and steady, with clean vertical stress and restrained detailing that stays crisp at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads in magazines, books, and other editorial layouts where a warm serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic-but-contemporary feel, and it holds up in poster-style settings thanks to its strong silhouettes and open counters.
The overall tone feels warm and editorial, combining classic bookish cues with a friendly, approachable softness. Its flared endings and rounded shaping add a human, slightly vintage character while maintaining a confident, authoritative presence in headlines.
Likely designed to provide a distinctive serif texture that feels traditional without looking overly formal. The flared terminals and rounded construction appear intended to boost warmth and visual presence, especially in larger sizes and short to medium text blocks.
Uppercase shapes emphasize stability and symmetry, while the lowercase introduces more personality through bulbous bowls and compact proportions. Numerals are bold and open, with clear silhouettes that suit titling and callouts. The design reads best when given breathing room, where the flared terminals and contrast can register clearly.
