A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs and softly rounded terminals, combining compact curves with confident, vertical stress. Strokes are relatively even with gentle modulation, and the heavy joins and counters give it a dense, durable color on the line. Proportions feel traditional, with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase; the lowercase forms are slightly compact, helping maintain a steady rhythm in paragraph settings. Numerals appear old-style in feel with rounded, weighty shapes that visually harmonize with the text letters.
Well-suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and book-style composition where a strong serif voice is desirable. The heavier color also makes it effective for headings, pull quotes, and display lines that need traditional gravitas without becoming ornate.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its solid presence reads as authoritative and slightly formal, while the rounded finishing details keep it from feeling overly sharp or austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a robust build, aiming for familiar literary proportions and reliable performance in text while still carrying enough weight for confident titling.
Serifs are distinctly bracketed and substantial, creating stable baselines and strong word shapes. The texture in sample text is dark and cohesive, favoring clarity and impact over airy delicacy, which can suit printing and screen use where firmness is beneficial.
