A sturdy serif with compact, well-bracketed serifs and a confident, dark color on the page. Strokes show noticeable (but not extreme) contrast, with rounded joins and soft transitions that keep the texture even in paragraphs. Capitals are broad and stable with a strong baseline presence, while lowercase forms are slightly compact with generous counters and clear internal shapes. Details like ball terminals (notably on forms such as “j”) and the angled tail on “Q” add traditional, bookish character without becoming ornate.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where a solid serif texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively for headlines, academic materials, and print collateral that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward editorial and literary use. Its weight and crisp serifs convey seriousness and trust, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than rigid.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif focused on strong readability and a familiar, classic typographic presence. The intent appears to balance robust weight with controlled contrast and traditional detailing for dependable performance in text and display settings.
The numerals appear to be oldstyle figures, mixing ascenders and descenders that integrate smoothly with lowercase text. Spacing and proportions create a dense, readable rhythm suited to continuous reading, with consistent serif treatment across the set.
