A heavy, traditional serif with broad proportions and pronounced stroke modulation. The serifs are bracketed and softly tapered, and many joins resolve into rounded, almost ball-like terminals that give the shapes a slightly softened, carved feel. Counters are generous for the weight, curves are full and steady, and the overall rhythm is spacious with wide set capitals and substantial, confident lowercase forms. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varied heights and distinct, curving silhouettes that match the texty character of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for short passages, pull quotes, and front-of-book elements that benefit from a robust, traditional texture and clear letterforms.
The tone is classic and editorial, balancing authority with a warm, slightly informal softness from its rounded terminals. It suggests established print culture—newspapers, book typography, and institutional communication—without feeling brittle or overly formal.
The likely intention is to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif with a wide, confident stance and softened detailing, aiming for strong presence in headlines while retaining the familiar cadence of book and editorial typography.
The design favors strong silhouettes and a wide stance, which helps it stay legible at display-to-text sizes while maintaining a traditional texture. The combination of firm verticals and rounded terminals produces a sturdy, approachable color on the page, especially in continuous text.
