A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic, slightly lively contour. Serifs are bracketed and often subtly flared, with wedge-like terminals and gentle shaping at joins that gives an inked, press-like texture. Curves are full and round, counters stay open, and overall proportions feel steady but not rigid, with small irregularities in stroke endings that keep the rhythm organic. Numerals and capitals carry strong presence and clear silhouettes, suited to setting at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display sizes where its strong contrast and expressive serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial styling, book and magazine covers, and branded packaging that wants a traditional, crafted feel. For longer passages, it will produce a dense texture that can be effective in print-oriented layouts when generous spacing is available.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a handcrafted warmth that suggests traditional printing and editorial typography rather than a polished, corporate voice. Its strong color and expressive terminals lend it an assertive, story-driven character that feels both familiar and slightly rustic.
The design appears intended to combine classical old-style influences with a heavier, more attention-grabbing presence, preserving a calligraphic touch while staying structurally clear. It aims to deliver a historically grounded voice with enough weight and texture to perform confidently in display typography.
In text, the heavy strokes create a dark page color and emphasize word shapes; the calligraphic modulation is especially noticeable in diagonals and curved letters. The overall impression is sturdy and readable, with decorative flavor coming from terminals and serif shaping rather than ornament.
