A robust serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and gently flared stroke endings. The letterforms feel slightly calligraphic: curves swell and taper, joins are softly modeled, and terminals often finish with a subtle wedge or hook. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dark and steady, with rounded inner shapes and a slightly organic, inked quality that keeps the heavy strokes from feeling rigid.
Works well for editorial settings where a dense, authoritative texture is desired, such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes. Its weight and pronounced serifs also suit headlines, packaging, and short-to-medium text in branding where a classic, print-inflected voice is appropriate.
The tone is traditional and bookish, evoking classic printing and editorial typography. Its sturdy build and softened details give it a friendly authority—more warm and approachable than formal, while still feeling established and dependable.
Likely intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with added warmth and character through calligraphic modulation and shaped terminals. The design emphasizes strong text color and recognizable, traditional forms for confident communication in both display and text contexts.
Uppercase forms show strong serif presence and a stable stance, while lowercase characters maintain clear differentiation through distinctive terminals and lively curvature. Numerals are weighty and old-style in spirit, matching the text color and reinforcing a cohesive, print-forward rhythm in paragraphs.
