A robust serif with strongly modulated strokes and pronounced bracketed serifs that give the letters a carved, print-like firmness. Curves are generously rounded while verticals remain steady, producing a clear, even texture in paragraphs despite the weight. Uppercase forms are broad and stately, with compact joins and crisp terminals; the lowercase shows a traditional serif rhythm with two-storey a and g, a relatively compact aperture structure, and confident, slightly squarish shoulders. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and descenders, reinforcing a bookish, text-forward character.
Well-suited for editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired, particularly for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display paragraphs. Its strong typographic color also makes it effective for book interiors, magazine features, and posters that need a classic, high-impact serif without becoming ornate.
The tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward an editorial voice associated with books and established institutions. Its heft and strong contrast create a serious, declarative presence, while the rounded details keep it from feeling brittle or overly austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-oriented serif with extra presence—combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with enough stroke modulation and weight to perform confidently in editorial and display roles.
At larger sizes the serifs and bracketing read as confident typographic detailing, while in text the heavy color suggests it will hold up well in dense settings and on lower-contrast production methods. The overall spacing feels designed for continuous reading, with stable word shapes and clear differentiation between similar forms.
