A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and subtly tapered strokes that give it an oldstyle, calligraphic backbone. Capitals are broad and steady with strong verticals and compact counters, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a compact, readable rhythm. Serifs are pronounced but not slabby, with gentle curvature into stems and slightly flared joins that keep the texture lively at text sizes. Numerals are sturdy and classical in feel, with noticeable stroke modulation and clear differentiation across figures.
Performs well for editorial typography, book and long-form reading where a strong, classic serif texture is desired. It also suits headlines, title treatments, and brand applications that benefit from a traditional, high-authority voice, including packaging or heritage-oriented identities.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking bookish, editorial typography with a confident, slightly rugged voice. Its weight and firm serifs create a sense of seriousness and permanence, suitable for formal communication without feeling overly delicate.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional, readerly serif with enhanced presence—keeping classic proportions and bracketed serifs while adding enough heft to maintain clarity and impact in both text blocks and display settings.
Spacing reads even and text color is dense, producing a strong page presence in paragraphs and headlines. Curves are full and slightly asymmetrical in a way that suggests humanist construction, and the punctuation and apostrophe forms appear substantial enough to hold up in heavier settings.
