A sturdy serif with bracketed terminals and moderately modulated strokes. The letterforms show generous width and open interior spaces, with smooth curves and clear joins that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Serifs are well-defined and slightly flared, giving a traditional book-face silhouette without becoming spiky or delicate. Lowercase forms feel steady and readable, with a single-storey g and a gently earred, right-leaning r; figures are proportional and clearly differentiated.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, traditional serif texture is needed. The wide capitals and confident serifs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and other typographic moments that benefit from a classic print voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking print-centric, literary typography. Its calm rhythm and familiar proportions read as trustworthy and composed, with enough warmth in the curves and terminals to avoid a cold, mechanical feel.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif voice with strong typographic familiarity for text-driven work, balancing robust serifs and moderate stroke modulation to perform in continuous reading while still carrying a refined, editorial character.
Capitals are broad and stately, producing a strong headline presence, while the lowercase maintains an even, comfortable color across lines. The numerals include distinctive shapes (notably the 2 and 3) that add character while remaining conventional and legible.
