A robust serif with bracketed, softly rounded serifs and a substantial color on the page. Strokes show moderate modulation with sturdy verticals and gently tapered joins, producing a steady, print-like rhythm. Counters are compact and apertures tend toward the closed side, while terminals often finish with subtle ball-like forms that add warmth to otherwise disciplined proportions. Uppercase forms are broad and stable; lowercase is compact with a clear, workmanlike structure and a familiar text-face cadence.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other longform settings where a firm, classic serif texture is desired. The weight and compact counters also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that need a traditional voice with strong contrast against a page.
The overall tone feels traditional and dependable, with a slightly old-style warmth that reads as literary and established. Its strong presence and conservative detailing convey seriousness and authority without becoming sharp or brittle.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-legibility serif for text-driven work, prioritizing a consistent typographic color and familiar forms. Details like bracketed serifs and rounded terminals suggest an aim to balance authority with a slightly human, approachable finish.
Numerals appear sturdy and text-friendly, with rounded shoulders and clear silhouettes that match the letterforms’ weight and serif treatment. The sample text shows even spacing and consistent texture, supporting continuous reading at larger paragraph sizes as well as emphatic headings.
