A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a slightly calligraphic build. Serifs are bracketed with soft, rounded joins, and many terminals finish in teardrop/ball-like forms, giving the face a sculpted, inked feel rather than a mechanical one. The proportions are moderately wide with generous counters; capitals are strong and stable, while lowercase forms show lively curves and asymmetric detailing (notably in a, g, y). Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varied heights and some descending forms, matching the face’s editorial rhythm.
Well suited to editorial typography where a robust, classic serif voice is needed—magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes. The weight and strong capitals also make it effective for headlines, titling, and packaging or labels that benefit from a traditional, premium feel.
The overall tone is classic and confident, combining traditional book-seriffed authority with a warm, slightly expressive texture. Its rounded brackets and ball terminals add a touch of charm and formality that reads as established and reputable.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with added personality through calligraphic contrast, rounded brackets, and ball terminals, providing a distinctive yet familiar voice for editorial and display settings.
Stroke contrast is most evident in curved letters and diagonals, and the heavy weight produces solid color in paragraphs while keeping apertures open. Spacing appears comfortable and even, helping long lines maintain a consistent rhythm without looking rigid.
