A heavy, old-style serif with bracketed serifs and softly sculpted terminals. Strokes show noticeable contrast with rounded joins and slightly bulbous, inked-in contours that create a worn, press-like silhouette. Proportions are generous and readable, with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a slightly irregular rhythm that feels more organic than geometric. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, rounded treatment, keeping color consistent in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, editorial titling, and cover work where a bold serif voice is needed with a classic, print-forward character. It can also serve for short passages or pull quotes when you want a dense, confident typographic color and a traditional tone.
The overall tone is vintage and bookish, evoking traditional print and display typography with a friendly, slightly rugged presence. Its softened edges and swelling strokes give it a warm, crafted feel rather than a crisp, modern finish.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif reading of authority and familiarity, while adding a slightly weathered, hand-inked softness for personality. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent texture to stand up in impactful sizes and dense typographic layouts.
The design leans on strong interior shapes and bracket transitions to stay legible at larger text sizes while still feeling decorative in headlines. The texture reads pleasantly uneven—more like printed ink than sharp vector edges—adding character without becoming overly distressed.
