A sturdy serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and softly rounded joins. Strokes show moderate contrast, with thickened horizontals and rounded ends that keep counters open and forms readable. Proportions are slightly compact with a steady rhythm; capitals are confident and broad, while lowercase has a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey “a” and “g” and pronounced, supportive serifs on stems. Figures are clear and conventional, with ample weight in curves and a stable baseline presence.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a strong serif texture is desirable. It also works for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a traditional, confident typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, evoking editorial typography and traditional print. It feels formal without being delicate, leaning toward an established, institutional voice suited to serious reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, general-purpose serif optimized for comfortable text setting, combining familiar letterforms with sturdy serifs and moderate contrast to maintain clarity across sizes.
Serifs are consistently shaped and well-bracketed, giving the face a smooth flow in text. The round letters (O, C, e) carry a gentle fullness, and the heavier terminals add a slightly emphatic, authoritative color at display sizes.
