A sturdy serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden into the stems rather than ending as hard slabs. Strokes are mostly even with subtle modulation, and the overall color is dark and compact. The uppercase has broad, rounded bowls (C, G, O) and stable, vertical stems, while the lowercase shows a relatively small x-height with generous ascenders and descenders. Curves are full and smooth, and many joins and terminals are softly shaped, giving the letters a carved/inked feel rather than a mechanical one.
This face works especially well for headlines and subheads where its dark, confident presence can carry a page. It also suits editorial design and book-cover typography, and can add a traditional, crafted flavor to posters and packaging when used at medium to large sizes.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining authority with a slightly old-style warmth. It feels traditional and literary, with enough softness in the terminals to avoid stiffness, making it well suited to refined, text-forward communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, traditional serif voice with a slightly crafted, flared-serifs character—aiming for authoritative readability while keeping a warm, humanist texture.
Counters stay open despite the heavy weight, and the figures are solid and headline-friendly. The overall rhythm is compact and steady, with sturdy verticals and rounded forms that maintain clarity in longer lines of text.
