A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, gently flared serifs. The letterforms show softened joins and subtly calligraphic curves, balancing sturdy vertical stems with rounded bowls and tapered terminals. Proportions are generous and readable, with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm; capitals are broad and dignified while lowercase forms stay compact and text-oriented. Numerals appear weighty and traditional, with smooth curves and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a confident serif voice is needed—magazine features, book typography, and long-form articles at comfortable sizes. It also performs strongly in display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority and refinement without feeling overly delicate. Its strong presence and clear silhouettes give it an editorial confidence suited to serious or institutional messaging.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif with extra strength for modern printing and screen use, combining classical proportions and bracketing with enough weight and contrast to hold up in headings and emphatic settings.
The design leans toward oldstyle serif behavior: moderate stress, curved brackets, and slightly organic contours that keep the texture lively in paragraphs. It maintains a consistent, even color in text while still showing crisp contrast at larger sizes.
