A sturdy serif with generous weight and softened, bracketed serifs that read as rounded wedges rather than sharp hairlines. Strokes are broadly even with moderate modulation and slightly bulbous terminals, giving the letters a dense, ink-friendly color on the page. Proportions are fairly open in the bowls and counters, with a steady rhythm across text and clear differentiation between similar forms (for example, the round letters versus straight-stemmed characters). The overall drawing favors strong verticals, stable horizontals, and comfortable spacing that keeps paragraphs dark but readable.
Works well for long-form reading such as books, magazines, and essays where a strong serif texture and clear letterforms help sustain legibility. The weight and presence also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles, especially in print layouts that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a confident, established presence that feels suited to classic publishing. Its rounded detailing and hefty serifs add warmth and approachability, while the strong shapes maintain authority for editorial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, conventional serif for reading-centric typography, combining firm structure with softened details to create an inviting, durable text color.
In running text, the face maintains a consistent texture with clear word shapes and a slightly old-style softness at joins and terminals. Numerals match the letter weight and footprint well, supporting the same solid, print-oriented impression.
