A robust text serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are full and slightly sculpted, with teardrop and ball-like terminals appearing on several lowercase forms, while verticals stay steady and upright. The design shows a traditional, bookish skeleton with compact joins, rounded bowls, and a confident rhythm that holds together well at larger display sizes as well as in continuous reading. Numerals and capitals carry strong presence, with clear, conventional shapes and sharply finished serifs.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial work, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a strong, established tone.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, projecting authority and tradition rather than casualness. Its strong contrast and refined detailing give it a literary, slightly dramatic voice suited to serious or premium contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif with a classic publishing feel, combining sturdy color on the page with refined, high-contrast detailing for a confident typographic presence.
The lowercase includes distinct old-style cues in the terminals and ear/finishing strokes, lending a subtly calligraphic flavor without becoming decorative. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same sharp serif treatment, maintaining a consistent, disciplined texture across mixed-case settings.
