A sturdy serif with flared, bracketed terminals and broadly rounded curves. Strokes are heavy and largely even, with only gentle modulation, producing a dark, compact texture in paragraphs. Counters are moderate and slightly squarish in places, while joins and curves (notably in C, G, S, and the lowercase bowls) feel softened rather than sharp. The lowercase shows a relatively upright, readable rhythm with solid verticals, a two-storey a, and a single-storey g; numerals are weighty with pronounced curves and stable, grounded silhouettes.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where its strong serifs and compact color can anchor a layout. It also fits editorial and book-oriented typography when a traditional, assertive texture is desired, and can work effectively for packaging and branding that aims for heritage and credibility.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a friendly warmth that comes from the softened curves and flared endings. It reads as editorial and traditional rather than minimalist, giving text a confident, established voice.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with extra presence, using flared and bracketed terminals to maintain warmth and legibility while keeping an emphatic, print-forward color. The forms prioritize stable proportions and consistent weight to hold up in both prominent titles and dense blocks of text.
At display sizes the heavy serifs and flared stroke endings become a defining feature, while in text the face produces a dense, emphatic color. The punctuation and figures match the letter weight well, supporting a consistent, formal typographic palette.
