A sturdy serif with bracketed, flared stroke endings and a confident, print-oriented texture. Stems show gentle tapering into the terminals rather than abrupt slabs, while bowls and rounds are smooth and moderately open. Capitals are broad and stately with strong vertical emphasis; lowercase forms are compact with clear counters and a traditional two-storey a. Numerals are weighty and stable, with clear differentiation and a slightly sculpted, engraved-like handling at curves and joins.
Works well for editorial design, book and long-form reading, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. Its sturdy shapes and strong presence also suit display use—titles, pull quotes, and brand marks—especially in contexts that benefit from a traditional, institutional feel.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, evoking book typography, institutional materials, and heritage branding. Its flared finishing and strong silhouettes add a hint of ceremony without becoming ornate, keeping the voice serious and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with added character from subtly flared terminals and sculpted transitions. It aims for a balance of warmth and authority, producing robust letterforms that maintain clarity while projecting a formal, established tone.
In text, the font produces a dark, even color with pronounced rhythm from the serifs and tapered endings. Diagonals and junctions feel crisp, and the proportions favor clarity over delicacy, supporting confident headlines and solid paragraph setting.
