A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs, pronounced stroke modulation, and a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Bowls and rounds are full and open, while joins are sculpted with noticeable bracketing that softens transitions into the serifs. The capitals read steady and weighty with broad interior counters, and the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with distinct, curved terminals and a clear two-storey “a.” Numerals are sturdy and classic in feel, matching the text weight and contrast for cohesive page color in larger sizes.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a traditional serif voice is desired. Its weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a confident, classical tone.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, conveying authority and familiarity rather than novelty. Its substantial presence and traditional detailing suggest seriousness and credibility, with a refined, bookish character suited to long-established print conventions.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif that prioritizes a familiar reading rhythm while adding a bold, emphatic presence. The bracketing, modulation, and classic proportions point to an intention to feel timeless and trustworthy across both display and text-oriented applications.
The design emphasizes strong vertical presence and clear serif cues, producing a dense, confident texture in lines of text. Curved forms (like C, G, O, S) show careful modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain stable and crisp, reinforcing a formal, composed impression.
