A contrasted slab serif with pronounced, bracketed slabs and clear thick–thin modulation through the curves. Capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their internal spaces, while the lowercase keeps open counters and a steady, upright rhythm. Serifs are strong and squared, with softened transitions, and several glyphs show rounded/ball-like terminals (notably on forms such as a and r), lending a subtly human, oldstyle flavor. Numerals are robust and readable, with curving bowls and firm slab anchoring that keeps lines of text visually stable.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book typography where a confident serif voice is needed. The sturdy slabs and clear contrast also work well for posters, branding, and packaging that aims for a classic, established feel, especially at display sizes where the terminals and serif shaping can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, combining a traditional print voice with enough contrast and detail to feel editorial rather than purely utilitarian. It reads as established and trustworthy, with a slightly vintage, bookish warmth coming from its rounded terminals and softened serif joins.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif authority while adding refinement through noticeable contrast and rounded, oldstyle-inflected detailing. It prioritizes strong presence and legibility, aiming for a timeless print character that holds up in both heading and extended-text contexts.
In paragraph settings the heavy slabs create a strong baseline and cap-line presence, producing a dark, even color that suits larger text sizes and headings. The design balances crisp geometry in the serifs with more calligraphic curvature in bowls and joins, which helps keep the texture lively without becoming decorative.
