A robust serif with clearly bracketed serifs, moderately modulated strokes, and an even, text-oriented rhythm. The letterforms show oldstyle influence in their roundness and diagonal stress, with sturdy stems and slightly compact internal counters that keep color consistent at display and paragraph sizes. Uppercase proportions are traditional and steady, while the lowercase balances a normal x-height with pronounced ascenders and descenders; details like the two-storey “g” and “a,” short crossbars, and firm terminals reinforce a conventional reading texture. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, with strong verticals and clear serifed entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. The sturdy construction also holds up for headings, pull quotes, and formal print materials that need a traditional, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and familiarity rather than novelty. Its calm rhythm and traditional detailing suggest editorial seriousness—appropriate for contexts that benefit from a dependable, established voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly usable text serif with classic proportions and a dependable page color. Its details prioritize clarity and continuity across mixed-case settings and numerals, aiming for a versatile workhorse feel rather than a decorative statement.
The font maintains consistent serif shapes across the set, with smooth joins and restrained curvature that avoids sharp, high-contrast delicacy. In the sample text, the spacing and stroke mass create a confident, dark typographic color that reads well in larger blocks while still feeling suitable for extended text.
