A sturdy serif with softly bracketed serifs and rounded, slightly bulbous terminals that give the letterforms a gentle, carved feel. Strokes are generally robust with moderate contrast, and curves are full and open, producing clear counters in letters like C, O, and e. The capitals are broad and steady with a classical structure, while the lowercase shows compact, practical proportions and a straightforward two-storey a. Serifs tend to flare subtly rather than end sharply, and joins are smooth, creating an even, comfortable rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially for headings, subheads, and pull quotes. The strong silhouettes and softened details also make it effective for posters, book covers, and packaging that benefit from a traditional, slightly vintage atmosphere.
The overall tone is traditional and approachable, combining an old-style, bookish presence with a slightly playful softness in the serifs and terminals. It feels familiar and dependable, with a hint of vintage print character rather than a stark, modern rigidity.
This design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with added warmth and visual sturdiness, emphasizing familiar shapes, smooth bracketing, and a confident texture for prominent text.
Spacing appears generous enough for solid text color at larger sizes, and the heavy footings and rounded details help maintain legibility and stability in display settings. Numerals are clear and weighty, matching the text forms with consistent serif treatment and rounded finishing.
