A sturdy serif with generously weighted strokes and clear, bracketed serifs that often flare as they meet the stems. Curves are round and full, with moderate stroke modulation that shows most clearly in bowls and terminals rather than razor-thin hairlines. The uppercase feels broad and stately with stable verticals, while the lowercase is compact and robust, with a distinctive double-storey g and a single-storey a. Figures are substantial and old-style in feel, with noticeable variation in width and strong presence on the line.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other display settings where a traditional serif voice is needed with extra weight and warmth. It can support editorial identities, book covers, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone and rich typographic color.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a slightly old-world, print-forward character. Its heavy color and flared details read as warm and established rather than sharp or technical, lending an editorial, literary atmosphere.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic serif proportions with heavier, more sculpted strokes and flared transitions at the terminals. The goal seems to be strong readability at display sizes while retaining a familiar, literary feel and a pronounced typographic texture.
A standout detail is the prominent, curved tail on the Q and the energetic, slightly calligraphic shaping in letters like S, g, and y. The bold text sample shows dense rhythm and tight counters, suggesting best performance where strong typographic presence is desired rather than delicate, airy color.
