A sturdy serif with broad, even strokes and gently modulated transitions that read as low-contrast at text sizes. Stems end in tapered, subtly flared terminals and small bracketed serifs, giving edges a carved, slightly calligraphic finish rather than hard slabs. Counters are open and round, joins are compact, and curves show mild squaring in places, producing a solid, dark texture. Uppercase forms feel wide and stable, while lowercase features a two-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders, and a compact, weighty rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where a strong serif voice is needed—magazine layouts, book covers, brand marks, and packaging. It can also serve for pull quotes and section openers where a dense, authoritative texture helps anchor the page.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with a warm, slightly old-style voice that feels established rather than trendy. Its heavy presence and softened detailing add approachability, making it feel trustworthy and editorial rather than purely formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, classic serif impression with subtly flared endings that add warmth and historical resonance while maintaining modern, high-impact readability.
The numerals are heavy and highly legible with rounded bowls and firm verticals. Details like the Q tail and the footed lowercase l add character, while tight apertures and dense stroke mass suggest best use at display and headline sizes where the shaping is most apparent.
