A heavy, high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed serifs and softened corners that keep the dark color from feeling brittle. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and rounded finishing details, including ball/teardrop-like terminals in several lowercase forms and a compact, sturdy overall silhouette. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the spacing reads open enough for continuous text while maintaining a dense, emphatic texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where its strong weight and contrast can create clear hierarchy. It also fits editorial branding, book or magazine covers, and packaging that benefits from a traditional serif voice with ample presence. In longer text, it works most naturally at comfortable sizes with generous leading to balance its dark color.
The tone is classic and assertive, evoking printed editorial work and traditional book typography, but with a friendly softness from its rounded terminals. It feels confident and slightly nostalgic—suited to content that wants to sound established, trustworthy, and a bit old-school.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, print-rooted serif with extra visual authority—combining classic proportions and bracketing with rounded terminal details to maintain warmth and approachability.
The numerals are similarly weighty and compact, with curved forms that match the softened serif treatment, helping headings and figures keep a cohesive, poster-like presence. Overall rhythm is steady and conventional, favoring readability and a familiar typographic voice over eccentricity.
