A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly cupped terminals that give the outlines a slightly calligraphic, carved feel. Strokes are sturdy with gentle modulation, and the letterforms favor broad curves and open counters, especially in round characters. The capitals read stately and compact in structure, while the lowercase shows a lively, slightly irregular rhythm with rounded joins and prominent ball/teardrop-like terminals on several forms. Numerals are heavy and clearly shaped, designed to hold up at display sizes while remaining legible in text.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where sturdy serifs and a dark color help the type stand out. It also fits editorial typography, book-cover titling, and brand marks seeking a classic, established voice with a touch of personality.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly old-fashioned warmth rather than a strictly modern neutrality. Its strong serifs and weight lend authority, while the softened curves keep it approachable and literary.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with extra heft and expressive terminals, balancing readability with a distinctive, slightly antiquated charm for prominent text settings.
The texture in paragraph setting is dark and even, with pronounced serif presence that creates a firm baseline and strong word shapes. Curved letters and terminals introduce a subtle bounce that keeps long lines from feeling rigid.
