A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs and softly swelling strokes that keep contrast moderate and readable. Curves are full and slightly squarish at the shoulders, with terminals that feel cut rather than razor-sharp, giving the letterforms a solid, ink-friendly presence. Proportions lean compact and purposeful, with round letters kept fairly wide and capitals carrying confident weight without looking blocky. The overall rhythm is even and steady, balancing strong verticals with gently modulated joins and counters that remain open in bold settings.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form reading where a conventional serif voice is desired. The robust build also supports strong headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or identity work that benefits from a classic, trustworthy tone.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a warm, bookish solidity that reads as dependable rather than flashy. It suggests classic print typography—serious, familiar, and slightly historical—while staying approachable for everyday reading.
Likely intended as a versatile, conventional serif for general-purpose reading, combining familiar old-style cues with a sturdier, display-friendly weight. The design aims for dependable legibility and a classic texture that feels comfortable in both text and prominent settings.
Numerals are hefty and clear, with classic serifed construction that matches the capitals. The lowercase shows a pragmatic text rhythm, and the heavier weight gives headlines extra presence without losing the conventional serif texture.
