A sturdy serif with slab-like, squared serifs softened by noticeable bracketing and a slightly calligraphic stroke flow. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and subtle flare, giving the outlines an inked, press-like presence rather than geometric rigidity. Counters are generously open, capitals are broad and steady, and the lowercase carries a readable, oldstyle-leaning rhythm with a single-storey “g,” a curved-top “t,” and a slightly angled stress in rounded letters. Numerals are solid and legible with traditional proportions and clear differentiation between forms.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and long-form reading, and institutional or academic contexts where a sturdy serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely in headlines, signage, and packaging where the squared serifs and confident rhythm can carry at display sizes without losing legibility.
The overall tone is dependable and bookish, combining a scholarly, editorial voice with a touch of vintage warmth. It feels grounded and pragmatic, with enough personality in the curves and terminals to avoid looking purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif presence while retaining traditional readability and a human, inked texture. Its softened geometry and moderate contrast suggest a goal of pairing authority with approachability for both text and display use.
The typeface maintains a consistent, slightly softened slab vocabulary across caps and lowercase, balancing squared serifs with rounded internal shapes. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, and the boldness of the serifs helps anchor lines in larger text settings.
