A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, oldstyle-derived skeleton. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and subtly cupped terminals, producing a dark, steady color in text. Counters are moderately open, curves are full and rounded, and the overall rhythm feels deliberate rather than mechanical. Proportions read as conventional for continuous reading, with sturdy capitals and lowercase forms that keep their structure at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and long-form reading, and publication design where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong weight and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and branding in more formal or heritage-leaning settings.
The tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and tradition. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, editorial voice suited to serious or institutional contexts, while the slightly calligraphic shaping adds warmth and heritage.
Likely designed as a conventional, general-purpose serif that leans on traditional, oldstyle cues for credibility and readability, while using a heavier presence for emphasis in both text and titling contexts.
The figures appear sturdy and legible with pronounced curves and clear differentiation, matching the texty, conventional feel of the letters. The overall impression is of a display-capable text serif that maintains a strong presence without becoming decorative.
