A robust serif with compact, slightly condensed counters and clear, bracketed/flared terminals that broaden gently at stroke endings. Strokes show moderate contrast with a steady, upright rhythm, and the shapes lean on rounded joins and softened corners rather than sharp, brittle details. Uppercase forms feel broad-shouldered and solid, while the lowercase keeps a familiar book face structure with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a single-storey “g” with a prominent ear. Numerals are weighty and readable, with smooth curves and stable verticals that match the text color of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display sizes where its strong serifs and flared endings can be appreciated. It also fits editorial layouts and book-cover typography that needs a classic, trustworthy voice with a bit of warmth, and can anchor branding that benefits from a sturdy, traditional feel.
The overall tone is authoritative and friendly at once—traditional enough to signal credibility, but softened by flared, slightly calligraphic endings that add warmth. Its heavy presence reads as confident and headline-ready without feeling overly formal or delicate.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a classic serif voice with added softness and momentum through flared, bracketed terminals. It appears designed to create a dark, stable typographic color for impactful titles while remaining comfortable and familiar in extended sample text.
The design produces a dense, even texture in paragraphs, with terminals and bracketing helping strokes flow into one another for a cohesive line. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls) are generous and rounded, which keeps the boldness from feeling harsh and supports comfortable reading in display text.
