A sturdy serif with bracketed wedges and softly rounded joins, combining strong vertical stems with slightly modulated curves. Serifs are pronounced and compact, tending toward triangular or flared terminals that give the forms a carved, print-like finish. Uppercase letters are broad and stable with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a compact rhythm with rounded bowls, clear apertures, and a consistent, even texture in text. Numerals are substantial and old-style in feel, with varied widths and a strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a robust serif can carry long passages without feeling fragile. It also performs effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the pronounced serifs and confident shapes add presence. The strong, traditional voice makes it a good candidate for print branding, labels, and packaging that aim for heritage and reliability.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a warm, editorial voice that feels familiar and trustworthy. Its weight and emphatic serifs add a confident, slightly historic character suited to classic publishing and institutional contexts.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a classic, print-oriented serif with added heft and clarity, balancing traditional proportions with sturdy details for strong page color. The design prioritizes dependable readability and an authoritative tone across both display and text settings.
The design favors solidity over delicacy: curves are full and smooth, terminals are firmly finished, and letterforms maintain a steady color across lines. In the text sample, spacing and proportions produce a dense, readable paragraph texture, with capitals that hold attention and a lowercase that stays composed at larger sizes.
