A robust text serif with generously bracketed serifs and rounded terminals that soften its otherwise sturdy construction. Strokes are fairly even with moderate modulation, and counters stay open, giving the face a calm, readable texture at text sizes. The lowercase shows a two‑storey “a” and “g,” compact apertures, and a slightly chunky rhythm, while capitals feel stable and formal with broad proportions and clear vertical stress. Numerals are strong and simple, matching the weight and presence of the letters for consistent setting in mixed text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, magazines, essays, and reports where a solid serif texture supports comfortable scanning. Its weight and presence also make it effective for pull quotes, subheads, and straightforward headlines in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a slightly old‑style warmth from its rounded details and bracketed serifs. It reads as editorial and literary rather than trendy, projecting authority without feeling sharp or overly refined.
The font appears intended as a conventional, high-readability serif that balances traditional forms with softened terminals for an inviting text color. It aims to provide stable, authoritative typography for editorial and book contexts while remaining visually approachable.
The design emphasizes sturdy stems and comfortable spacing, producing a dark but even color in paragraphs. Rounded foot and head details on several glyphs add friendliness and reduce harsh corners, helping the type remain approachable in longer passages.
