A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, bracketed wedge serifs, and rounded joins that give the strokes a slightly inked, print-like softness. The capitals are broad and sturdy with generous counters and confident verticals, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with moderate ascenders and descenders and distinctly cupped/bracketed serifs. Curves (C, G, O, S) are smooth and weighty, and several terminals finish in subtle ball or teardrop shapes, adding warmth to the otherwise solid, editorial texture. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with noticeable contrast and varied widths that integrate comfortably with text.
It works well for editorial design, book typography, and other long-form reading contexts where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. The substantial stroke weight also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and posters that need a confident, classical presence.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a bookish seriousness suited to traditional publishing aesthetics. Its weight and contrast project confidence and gravity, while the rounded details and ball-like terminals keep it from feeling overly sharp or austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a sturdy, print-oriented texture—combining traditional serif construction with enough contrast and mass to hold up in prominent editorial roles.
In text, the color is dark and even, with clear word shapes and a strong baseline presence. The forms lean toward traditional proportions and familiar serif conventions, making the face feel established and readable rather than experimental.
