A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs and softly flared stroke endings, showing moderate thick–thin modulation and a steady, slightly condensed rhythm. Capitals are broad-shouldered and stable, with crisp, traditional proportions, while the lowercase is compact with rounded joins and a clear, readable structure. Terminals often finish in subtle teardrop or ball-like forms (notably in letters such as a, c, f, and y), adding warmth to an otherwise conventional text-seriffed silhouette. Figures are robust and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with the 4 open and the 7 featuring a horizontal top bar, matching the overall authoritative color on the page.
It performs well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a firm, classic serif voice is desired. The strong weight and compact counters also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography that needs an established, formal presence.
The font conveys a classic, institution-ready tone—confident and literary, with a hint of warmth from its rounded terminals. It reads as trustworthy and established, suited to contexts where tradition and clarity matter more than novelty.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif for text-heavy work, balancing a traditional skeleton with softened terminals to maintain comfort at reading sizes while still delivering a confident, dark typographic color.
In text, the face builds a dark, consistent texture with clear word shapes and strong verticals. The italic is not shown; the roman’s terminals and bracketing create a slightly soft finish that prevents the heavy weight from feeling harsh.
