A robust serif with bracketed, softly flared serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The outlines feel slightly sculpted and organic, with rounded joins, tapered terminals, and a mild hand-inked irregularity that keeps counters lively. Proportions are generous and open, with strong verticals and subtly swelling curves in letters like C, S, and O; the lowercase shows a compact, readable rhythm with a two-storey a and a lightly earred g. Numerals are sturdy and traditional, matching the text color and serif treatment of the letters.
Well-suited to headlines, chapter openers, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where a strong serif presence is desired. It can also support short-to-medium passages in print-like layouts, and works effectively for brand applications that want a traditional, slightly vintage tone such as packaging and event posters.
The overall tone is classic and approachable, evoking printed book typography with a faint old-style, inky character. It reads confident and familiar rather than formal, with a warm, slightly nostalgic texture that suits traditional editorial voices.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with extra weight and personality, combining traditional proportions with softened, inked detailing for a more human, printed feel. It prioritizes a strong typographic color and clear letterforms while adding subtle calligraphic inflection for character.
In text, the face builds a dark, even color with crisp serifs that help word shapes lock together. The character is strongest at display and subhead sizes, where the sculpted terminals and modulation are most apparent without feeling fussy.
