A robust serif with tapered, flaring terminals and bracketed serifs that soften joins and corners. The strokes feel carved rather than purely geometric: verticals are sturdy, curves are generously rounded, and endings often swell slightly before resolving into serifed tips. Proportions are moderately wide with open counters, and the lowercase shows oldstyle influence in its textured rhythm—especially in the two-storey a and g and the compact, weighty joins. Numerals and caps carry the same confident, sculpted presence, with smooth, continuous bowls and sturdy horizontals.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and long-form reading where a sturdy serif texture is desirable. It also performs effectively in headlines and titling, where the flared terminals and bracketed serifs add presence and a classic finish. For branding, packaging, or formal print pieces, it can convey tradition and credibility without feeling overly delicate.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a warm, bookish texture that suggests editorial seriousness rather than neutrality. Its flared, slightly calligraphic shaping adds a human, crafted feel that reads as established and trustworthy.
The font appears designed to deliver a confident, classic serif voice with a carved, slightly calligraphic structure—prioritizing strong readability and a distinctive, established texture in both display and text settings.
The design maintains strong color on the page, producing a dense, even typographic mass in text. Curves and diagonals stay crisp and purposeful, and the serif treatment is consistent across cases, giving headings and body copy a unified, formal voice.
