A heavy, old‑style serif with softly bracketed serifs and rounded terminals that give the strokes a cushioned, inked feel. Proportions are compact with substantial stems, relatively short extenders, and a steady, low-contrast stroke rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, and several joins and corners resolve into small ball-like nubs, contributing to a warm, tactile texture at text sizes. The overall color is dark and even, with clear letter separation and a traditional, bookish silhouette.
Works well for editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form reading where a dark, steady texture is desirable. Its weight and rounded detailing also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or labels that aim for a classic, craft-inflected presence.
The tone is traditional and dependable, with a warm, approachable edge created by the rounded terminals and soft bracketing. It feels rooted in print—confident and slightly nostalgic—suited to settings that want authority without sharpness.
Likely intended as a robust text serif that maintains clarity and a consistent typographic color while adding warmth through soft bracketing and rounded terminals. The design balances traditional book-serifs with a slightly friendlier, more tactile finish for versatile use from text to display.
The uppercase forms read firm and stable, while the lowercase shows a more human, slightly calligraphic liveliness in bowls and shoulders. Numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the weight and serif treatment of the letters for a cohesive typographic voice.
