A robust text serif with strongly bracketed, slightly cupped serifs and a pronounced vertical stress. Strokes show clear thick–thin contrast, with broad, weighty stems and finer connecting strokes that create a lively rhythm at display sizes. Curves are generously rounded and often finish in soft ball-like terminals (notably in forms like C, f, and r), while capitals stay compact and solid with wide bowls and confident footing. Spacing reads open and steady, supporting dense setting without feeling cramped.
This face suits editorial typography, book or long-form print, and headline settings where a strong traditional serif presence is desired. Its weight and contrast make it effective for posters and print branding that needs a classic, established voice, while the steady rhythm also supports larger blocks of text at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a warm, slightly old-world softness from the rounded terminals and curved brackets. It feels bookish and editorial—more classic than modern—projecting reliability and formality without looking sharp or brittle.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif with added presence—combining traditional proportions with extra weight and contrast for confident headlines and sturdy text. Rounded terminals and generous brackets suggest an aim for warmth and approachability within a classic framework.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and somewhat condensed in their counters, while lowercase shows friendly, rounded joins and a readable, conventional skeleton. Numerals appear evenly weighted and clear, with old-style warmth in their curves and proportions.
