A robust serif with bracketed, slightly rounded serifs and smooth, moderately tapered joins that keep the texture even in heavier strokes. The letterforms are upright with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm, and the overall drawing favors softened corners over sharp, engraved detail. Capitals are broad and sturdy, while lowercase forms keep a conventional structure with clear bowls and shoulders; numerals are similarly weighty and highly legible. Stroke contrast is present but restrained, producing a dense, confident page color suited to continuous reading at larger text sizes and display settings alike.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong serif voice is needed—magazine heads, pull quotes, and section titles—as well as book and long-form settings at comfortable sizes. Its sturdy build also makes it effective for posters, packaging, and branding applications that want a traditional, trustworthy tone without looking overly formal.
The tone is classic and dependable, with a slightly old-style warmth from the rounded serifs and softened terminals. It reads as authoritative and editorial rather than delicate, giving text a solid, established voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with extra weight and softened details, balancing classic structure with a more robust, modern usability. The emphasis seems to be on legibility and authority, creating a familiar typographic color that holds up in both text and display contexts.
Spacing appears generous enough to prevent clogging in dense paragraphs, while the heavier weight and rounded details help maintain clarity in smaller counters. The design avoids fussy ornament, leaning on traditional proportions and consistent serif treatment for a familiar, print-oriented feel.
