A sturdy serif with broad, gently rounded forms and a noticeably weighty color on the page. Stems transition into subtly flared, bracket-like endings rather than sharp hairline serifs, giving the letterforms a carved, sculptural feel. Curves are full and smooth, apertures are fairly open, and counters stay clear even in the heaviest shapes. Terminals often finish with small bulb/teardrop forms (notably in characters like a, c, f, j), and the overall rhythm is steady with moderate proportions and a calm, upright stance.
Best suited for display settings where a dense, confident serif is needed: headlines, magazine titling, posters, and identity work. It can also work for short blocks of text such as pull quotes, chapter openers, or packaging copy where strong presence and legibility are more important than a light reading texture.
The tone reads traditional and assured, with an editorial gravitas that feels established rather than delicate. Its rounded weight and flared details add warmth and approachability, keeping it from feeling overly formal while still projecting authority.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif voice, using flared, bracketed endings and rounded terminals to maintain authority while adding warmth. The heavy color and open interiors suggest an emphasis on impactful typography that holds up in large sizes and bold compositions.
Uppercase shapes are compact and strong with prominent bowls (B, D, P, R) and a confident, wide-shouldered M. The lowercase is similarly robust, with a single-storey a and g that emphasize friendliness and clarity. Numerals are heavy and simple, suited to prominent display use.
