A sturdy serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a generously proportioned, slightly condensed-to-normal rhythm in running text. Serifs are clearly bracketed, with rounded transitions that soften the joins and keep the heavy weight from feeling brittle. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and the lowercase shows a notably tall x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, producing a dense, readable texture. Terminals frequently finish in rounded or ball-like shapes (notably on forms such as a, c, f, j, and y), lending a traditional, slightly calligraphic finish. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and descenders, matching the texty, book-oriented color of the face.
Works well for headlines and subheads where a strong serif presence is needed, and it can carry dense editorial paragraphs thanks to its tall x-height and open counters. The oldstyle numerals make it especially apt for long-form reading, footnotes, and typographic settings that mix text and figures. It also suits brand applications that benefit from a traditional, established tone, such as publishing, cultural institutions, and premium packaging.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition without feeling overly sharp. Rounded brackets and ball terminals add a touch of warmth and familiarity, balancing the weighty presence. It reads as confident and institutional—suited to serious content where a conventional serif voice is desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a robust, contemporary weight and an oldstyle-influenced finishing. Its tall x-height and softened bracketed serifs suggest an emphasis on maintaining clarity and comfort in continuous reading while still providing enough contrast and presence for display use. The ball terminals and oldstyle numerals reinforce a classic editorial character rather than a minimalist or geometric one.
Uppercase forms are broad and steady, with ample weight in the stems and strong, well-defined serifs that hold up at display sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples present a consistent roman voice with a cohesive, slightly oldstyle flavor. The lively oldstyle numerals and the pronounced terminal shaping give the design a distinctive texture compared to more neutral book serifs.
