A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous bowls and a steady, upright stance, while the contrast concentrates in subtly tapered joins and sharply cut interior counters. Serifs feel softly sculpted rather than mechanical, and several lowercase forms show rounded, ball-like terminals and teardrop finishes that add a touch of calligraphic flavor. Overall color is dark and assertive, with clear internal space that keeps the texture readable despite the heavy weight.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial display where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for book covers, posters, and packaging that benefit from a classic, crafted look, especially at medium to large sizes where the contrast and terminal details can be appreciated.
The tone is traditional and bookish, projecting a confident, slightly old-style formality. Its softened brackets and rounded terminals temper the strength of the weight, giving it a warm, editorial character rather than a stark or modern one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with added warmth and character through bracketed serifs, rounded terminals, and confident proportions. It aims for high-impact readability while retaining an established, literary tone.
Curves are emphasized throughout, with rounded shoulders and full bowls that produce a rhythmic, friendly texture in text. Capitals read stately and stable, while the lowercase introduces more personality through terminal shapes and lively transitions, helping longer passages avoid feeling rigid.
