A robust serif with generously bracketed, wedge-like serifs and full, rounded bowls that create a dark, steady texture on the page. Curves are smooth and slightly swollen, with softened joins that give some terminals an ink-trap-like notch or scooped transition. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with pronounced ears and ball-like terminals in places, while capitals are broad and monumental with consistent serif treatment. Numerals are weighty and readable, with traditional proportions and clear differentiation between shapes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and other long-form settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, especially at comfortable reading sizes. The weight and prominent serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or signage that benefits from a classic, assertive presence.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an old-style warmth that feels bookish and established. Its heavy, confident strokes suggest reliability and tradition rather than minimalism or high-fashion refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-familiar serif voice with extra heft and softened detailing, balancing classic proportions with strong presence for both text and display use.
In text, the face builds a strong vertical rhythm and a noticeably dark color, making it attention-grabbing at larger sizes while remaining coherent in paragraphs. The serif shapes and softened joints add a slightly vintage, print-oriented character without becoming decorative.
