A robust serif with bracketed wedge serifs, generous interior counters, and a steady, text-forward rhythm. Strokes are firmly weighted with moderate contrast and rounded transitions, producing a darker overall color without feeling compressed. The shapes lean toward oldstyle proportions: rounded bowls, slightly tapered joins, and gently cupped terminals that keep the forms warm and readable. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and evenly paced, with clear differentiation and a consistent, well-balanced vertical stress.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and long-form reading, and academic or institutional materials where a traditional serif voice is desired. The weight and presence also support titles, pull quotes, and packaging or brand applications that benefit from a classic, established feel.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking classic book typography and institutional print. Its sturdy weight and familiar serif detailing project confidence and seriousness, while the softened curves keep it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-legibility serif that delivers a classic print voice with strong presence. Its sturdy construction and moderated contrast suggest a focus on reliable readability and a confident, editorial tone across both text and display sizes.
In running text the letters knit into a solid, even texture, with clearly defined serifs that help guide the eye along the line. The design’s broad counters and calm spacing make it feel dependable for sustained reading, and the figures match the overall firmness of the text without drawing undue attention.
