A robust serif with heavy, rounded forms and subtly flared stroke endings that give the shapes a sculpted, ink-on-paper feel. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with softened joins and minimal stroke modulation, producing a dense, even color in text. Counters are compact but clean, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S) are broad and steady, while terminals often finish with a slight swell rather than a hard cut. The lowercase shows sturdy, straightforward construction with a double-storey a and single-storey g, plus short, weighty ascenders and a consistent rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short passages where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable. It can also work for editorial pull quotes and brand marks that need a classic serif feel without sharp, high-contrast delicacy.
The font projects a confident, traditional voice with a contemporary smoothness—more friendly and rounded than austere. Its strong presence reads as established and trustworthy, with a slightly bookish, editorial character suited to bold statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif silhouette with modern robustness, using flared, bracketed detailing and rounded shaping to keep the weight feeling warm and readable. It prioritizes impact and cohesion across caps, lowercase, and figures for editorial and branding-forward applications.
Capitals are wide and stable with squared shoulders and controlled apertures, helping maintain clarity at large sizes. Numerals are heavy and rounded, matching the letterforms’ mass and making figures feel emphatic in headlines. Overall spacing appears moderately tight, reinforcing a compact, impactful texture.
