A sturdy serif with gently flared terminals and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that broaden from the stems. Strokes are heavy and largely even, with only slight modulation, giving the letters a dense, ink-rich color on the page. Proportions are traditional and readable, with open counters and clear differentiation in forms like G, Q, and R. The lowercase shows a compact, bookish rhythm with a two-storey a and g, a moderate x-height, and short, confident ascenders and descenders; numerals are solid and well-balanced for text use.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and newspaper-style layouts where a strong, stable serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, titles, and branding that need a traditional, trustworthy tone, and can carry short display copy with high contrast against a page.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking printed literature, newspapers, and institutional typography. Its weight and flared endings add a confident, slightly old-world seriousness without feeling overly delicate or ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with extra firmness and impact, using flared, wedge-like serifs to add character and reinforce stroke endings. It prioritizes a consistent, confident texture and clear letterforms for both paragraph settings and prominent titling.
The serif treatment tends toward triangular, flared finishing rather than fine hairline serifs, which helps maintain clarity at larger display sizes and produces a strong, steady texture in paragraphs. The round letters (O, C, e) keep a disciplined, slightly squarish feel, reinforcing the typeface’s firm, traditional presence.
