A heavy, compact serif with rounded inner curves and broad, smoothly modeled strokes. Serifs are short and flared with gentle bracketing, giving terminals a slightly sculpted, wedge-like finish rather than sharp slabs. Counters are generally open and circular (notably in C, O, and lowercase o), while joins and shoulders stay full, producing a dense, even texture. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, stout verticals, and a sturdy rhythm that holds up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where a bold serif presence is desired. It works well for editorial titles, branding and packaging that want a classic feel without looking delicate, and large-format applications where its flared terminals and generous curves can be appreciated.
The overall tone feels confident and slightly nostalgic, balancing traditional serif cues with a soft, approachable warmth. Its chunky forms and restrained detailing create a dependable, no-nonsense voice that still reads personable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with increased mass and simplified, rounded detailing for strong impact and easy recognition. Flared, bracketed endings add a crafted, traditional finish while keeping the overall silhouette clean and contemporary enough for modern display use.
Capitals are wide and stable with strong horizontals, while the numerals share the same robust, rounded modeling and display-friendly weight distribution. The design maintains consistent terminal treatment across straight and curved strokes, which helps keep long lines of text visually cohesive.
