A conventional serif with sturdy proportions and a notably generous set width. Strokes show moderate contrast with clear thick–thin transitions, and the serifs are bracketed and well integrated into the stems, creating a smooth, traditional rhythm. Letterforms have ample counters and a steady baseline presence; capitals feel broad and stable, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable structure with a normal x-height and clear extenders. Numerals are similarly open and robust, matching the text color and spacing of the letters.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book and magazine work, where a traditional serif voice is desired. The broad proportions and strong presence also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and classic branding applications that benefit from a solid, established look.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an authoritative, established feel associated with traditional publishing. Its wide, confident stance gives it a slightly formal, declarative voice that reads as dependable rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a confident, wide footprint and a familiar publishing aesthetic. Its balanced contrast and bracketed detailing aim for clarity and authority rather than eccentricity, supporting long-form reading and structured editorial layouts.
In the sample text, the font produces a dark, even texture that holds together well at display sizes while still reading like a text face. The spacing and wide proportions contribute to a measured pace and a strong, editorial presence on the page.
