A sturdy text serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and a compact, even rhythm. Strokes are confidently weighted with moderate thick–thin modulation, keeping counters open and shapes readable at both display and text sizes. Uppercase forms are broad and stable with flat-sided verticals and crisp terminals, while lowercase features a two-storey a and g, round i dots, and a straightforward, workmanlike construction. Numerals are heavy and clear, with traditional proportions that align well with the cap height and overall vertical metrics.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and academic or institutional materials where a confident serif texture is desirable. The substantial stroke weight also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and subheads that need a traditional, authoritative presence while staying highly legible.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its weight and firm serifs convey seriousness and authority, suggesting a voice suited to institutions, publishing, and formal communication rather than playful or ornamental settings.
The type appears intended as a conventional, versatile serif for continuous reading and editorial composition, with enough weight to stand up in prominent typographic roles. Its restrained detailing and balanced proportions suggest a focus on clarity, reliability, and familiar typographic comfort.
The design leans on familiar, time-tested serif conventions, prioritizing strong silhouette and consistent texture over delicate detailing. The bold presence of the letterforms supports impactful headings while maintaining the calm, measured cadence typical of classic book faces.
