A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a relatively large x-height against short-to-moderate ascenders and descenders. Strokes show clear contrast with thick main stems and thinner connecting strokes, while terminals often resolve into soft, bulb-like shapes. The overall fit is slightly generous and the forms are broad, giving capitals a strong horizontal presence and lowercase a dense, readable texture. Numerals are robust and old-style in spirit, with rounded curves and weighty finishing details that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a confident serif voice is needed. It also fits book covers, posters, and branding systems aiming for a traditional, print-forward aesthetic with strong presence.
The font conveys a classic, authoritative tone with a hint of vintage warmth. Its heavy serifs and rounded terminals feel established and editorial, suggesting tradition and credibility rather than minimalism or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with extra weight and expressive terminals, balancing readability with a bold, characterful texture for attention-grabbing typography.
In text, the strong serifs and rounded terminals create a dark, rhythmic line that holds together well at display and subhead sizes. Distinctive details—such as the curled tail on Q and the ball-like terminals on several lowercase forms—add personality without tipping into novelty.
