A sturdy serif with generously bracketed serifs and rounded, slightly swelling stroke endings that give the forms a softened, sculpted feel. The color is strong and even, with moderate thick–thin modulation and clear, open counters in letters like C, D, O, and e. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and stable, while the lowercase shows a compact, readable build with a two-storey a, a fairly closed e, and a curved, rightward ear on g. Numerals are weighty and old-style in spirit, with broad curves and pronounced terminals that keep them consistent with the text rhythm.
It performs well in book and magazine typography where a firm serif texture and comfortable reading rhythm are desired. The strong capitals and substantial numerals also suit headlines, pull quotes, and print branding that needs a classic, established voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a warm, literary character rather than a sharp, high-contrast elegance. Its rounded terminals and substantial serifs convey trust, heritage, and a slightly old-world gravitas suited to established institutions and long-form reading.
The likely intent is a conventional text serif with extra robustness for confident display use, balancing traditional proportions with softened terminals and generous serifs to maintain readability and a cohesive, dignified texture across letters and numbers.
The design leans on smooth curves and pronounced bracketing to avoid brittleness at heavier sizes, keeping joins and interior shapes calm and legible. The uppercase has a confident presence for titling, while the lowercase maintains a steady, text-forward cadence in the sample paragraph.
