A robust serif with a noticeable rightward slant and sturdy, medium-contrast strokes. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with softened joins and occasional ball-like terminals that give the outlines a rounded, inked feel rather than a crisp mechanical finish. Proportions are on the broad side, with generous counters and a steady rhythm across text; curves are full and slightly springy, and stroke endings often finish with a subtle teardrop or curl. Numerals are heavy and friendly, with clear shapes and rounded interiors that match the text color of the letters.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired—magazine features, book interiors, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages. The weight and width also make it effective for headlines and display settings that need a confident, traditional character, as well as branding that benefits from a classic, literary feel.
The overall tone feels bookish and traditional, with a warm, slightly old-style personality. Its italic energy and rounded terminals add a conversational, humanist touch, making it feel less formal than a strict modern serif while still reading as established and trustworthy.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif reading experience while adding extra personality through a pronounced italic slant, rounded terminals, and generous proportions. The aim appears to be a dependable text serif with a warmer, more expressive surface and strong emphasis for editorial use.
The design maintains a consistent dark color on the page, and the slant is strong enough to be expressive without turning into a script-like texture. The mix of firm verticals and softened terminals creates a distinctive, somewhat vintage editorial flavor that remains legible in continuous reading.
