A sturdy serif with compact proportions, rounded curves, and bracketed wedge-like terminals. Strokes are broadly even with gently modulated contrast, producing dense, dark word shapes and a steady reading rhythm. The design favors softly modeled joins and full bowls, with clear, prominent serifs and a slightly oldstyle feel across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for book covers, editorial branding, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, confident tone and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting seriousness and reliability with a hint of warmth from its rounded modeling. It feels bookish and established rather than sleek or minimalist, lending an authoritative voice to headings and short passages.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a conventional serif structure with a distinctly weighty, highly legible presence, prioritizing strong silhouettes and an editorial gravitas over delicacy or modern austerity.
Spacing appears comfortable but the heavy color gives text a strongly inked presence, especially at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same robust, classical construction as the lowercase, supporting consistent typographic color across mixed content.
