A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into the terminals. The letterforms show moderate modulation and a slightly calligraphic stress, with generous curves and open counters that keep the texture readable at display and text sizes. Capitals are wide and stately, while the lowercase has traditional proportions, a two-storey a and g, and rounded joins that create a steady, rhythmic color. Numerals are weighty and compact with classic serif detailing and strong vertical presence.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine typography where a classic, authoritative voice is desired. It also fits headlines, pull quotes, and premium packaging that benefits from traditional serif character and strong presence.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting confidence and seriousness without feeling rigid. Its flared endings and softened bracketing add a crafted, bookish warmth that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif conventions with subtle flaring and robust weight to deliver a dependable, print-oriented voice. It aims for a familiar literary feel while maintaining enough firmness for impactful display use.
The shapes favor clear internal space and balanced sidebearings, producing an even, page-like texture in paragraph settings. Curved letters (C, G, S) are full and controlled, and the stronger terminals help headlines hold up in high-contrast layouts.
