A sturdy serif with generously rounded bowls, pronounced bracketed serifs, and softly swelling strokes that create a subtly calligraphic rhythm. The shapes lean on broad curves and slightly teardrop-like terminals, giving counters a friendly, open feel while maintaining a solid, dark typographic color. Capitals are wide and stately with smooth joins and moderate flare in key strokes; lowercase forms are compact and robust, with a notably rounded, single-storey “g” and a bulbous, weighty “a”. Numerals are similarly substantial, with curved, oldstyle-like movement in several figures and strong finishing strokes that keep them visually consistent with the text.
Best suited to display sizes where its rounded serif details and dark color can carry personality—such as headlines, magazine features, book covers, posters, and branded packaging. It can also work for short-form editorial subheads or pull quotes when a traditional, characterful serif is desired.
The overall tone reads traditional and bookish, with a welcoming warmth rather than a crisp, modern austerity. Its rounded details and confident weight suggest a vintage, editorial personality suited to expressive typography that still feels familiar.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with extra softness and visual charm, combining sturdy construction with gently calligraphic terminals for a more decorative, vintage-leaning presence.
In text, the font maintains an even rhythm and strong presence, with a slightly soft, organic edge to terminals and joins that prevents the heavy weight from feeling rigid. The design’s rounded stress and pronounced serifs help headings look authoritative while retaining a personable texture.
