A robust serif with broad, gently rounded strokes and clear bracketed serifs that flare slightly at terminals. The curves are full and even, with a steady rhythm and generous interior counters that keep heavy forms readable. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly compact, while the lowercase shows a familiar, book-oriented construction with a two-storey “a” and “g” and a sturdy, upright stance. Numerals are weighty and open, matching the letters’ calm, well-supported structure.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and other text-forward layouts where a strong serif texture is desirable. It also performs convincingly in headlines and brand applications that need traditional credibility without feeling overly delicate.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a warm, editorial presence. Its heavy, rounded detailing and softly flared endings give it an approachable authority suited to established institutions and print-forward design.
Likely designed to provide a durable, readable serif with a classic voice and a slightly flared terminal treatment, balancing strong presence with comfortable, continuous text color.
Stroke joins and serifs are smoothly bracketed, avoiding sharpness and emphasizing a cohesive, carved-in feel. The sample text shows strong word-shape and consistent texture, suggesting it holds up well in dense settings while still carrying a distinct, classic personality.
