A robust serif with generous, rounded forms and distinctly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear calligraphic influence: verticals feel sturdy, curves are full, and the joins create slightly swollen shoulders and softened corners. Terminals often finish with bulb-like or teardrop shapes, and several letters exhibit subtle notch-like shaping at joins that gives an inked, press-friendly texture. Proportions lean moderately wide with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm, supporting readable word shapes in both upper- and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desirable, especially for headings, pull quotes, and short blocks of text. It also fits book covers, posters, and brand identities that want a traditional, slightly vintage feel with ample visual presence. The sturdy shapes and open counters help it hold up in bold display sizes and in print-forward layouts.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, slightly old-style flavor. Its softened edges and lively detailing feel more personable than strictly formal, while the strong serifs still project authority and tradition. The texture suggests print heritage—confident and familiar rather than sleek or minimalist.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with added warmth and tactile detail—bridging classic readability with a more expressive, inked texture. It aims for a confident typographic color that feels at home in literary and heritage contexts while remaining versatile for modern display use.
The capitals are broad and stable with pronounced serifs, while the lowercase shows energetic details in letters like a, g, j, and y that add character without becoming decorative. Numerals are weighty and clear, matching the text color of the letters for cohesive setting in headings or short passages.
