A sturdy serif with a noticeable rightward slant and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate contrast, and many terminals flare or taper subtly, giving the outlines a slightly calligraphic, hand-inked feel. The lowercase shows rounded bowls and generous curves, while capitals are broad and steady with clear serif presence; overall spacing and rhythm read as dense and solid in text.
Works well for editorial headlines, magazine features, book covers, and display typography where a traditional serif voice with extra warmth is desired. It can also suit branding and packaging that benefit from a robust, vintage-leaning texture, particularly in titles, pull quotes, and short paragraphs.
The tone feels classic and literary, but not stiff—more personable and energetic than a purely formal oldstyle. Its italicized posture and soft, swelling terminals add warmth and motion, creating an inviting, slightly vintage editorial character.
Likely intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with added movement and personality through a consistent slant, softened serifs, and lively terminals—balancing readability with a distinctive, hearty texture.
Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curvy, expressive forms that match the text rhythm. The design favors dark color on the page and prominent word shapes, which can be especially effective at larger text sizes or in short blocks where texture is part of the personality.
