A sturdy old-style serif with bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and softly cupped terminals that create a warm, sculpted texture. Strokes are confident and fairly robust, with moderate contrast and a noticeable calligraphic influence in the curved letters. The capitals feel broad and stable with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase shows compact proportions, a two-storey a, and a teardrop-shouldered r that contributes to a rhythmic, slightly condensed reading color. Numerals are similarly weighty and traditional in flavor, with rounded forms and clear, print-oriented detailing.
Well suited to long-form print contexts such as books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The sturdy weight and distinctive terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that aims for a classic, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting credibility and a bookish sensibility. Its rounded shaping and substantial serifs keep it approachable, while the strong presence and traditional construction convey authority and permanence.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, literature-forward serif feel with enough terminal character to stand apart, prioritizing a steady reading rhythm and a confident, print-classic presence.
The design maintains a consistent, slightly compact rhythm across lines, producing a dark, cohesive text color at larger sizes. Curves are emphasized over sharp corners, and the terminals often finish with subtle ball-like or flared shapes that add character without becoming decorative.
