A robust text serif with bracketed, triangular-to-wedge serifs and gently tapered strokes that give the forms a subtly calligraphic feel. The capitals are broad and steady, with softened joins and a slightly organic curve progression rather than rigid geometric construction. Lowercase letters show a sturdy, readable rhythm with moderate apertures and rounded terminals; the two-storey a and g and the ear on g reinforce a classic book-face structure. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and pronounced curvature, adding a traditional texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong, traditional serif tone is desired, including book pages, long-form articles, and magazine layouts. The sturdy letterforms and confident serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding where clarity and gravitas matter.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and familiarity without feeling cold. Its weight and confident serifs create a sturdy, institutional voice suited to established brands and print-forward design. The slightly lively, tapered details add warmth and a touch of old-world refinement.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif with an emphasized presence and classic proportions, balancing readability with a dignified, traditional character. Its oldstyle numerals and calligraphic tapering suggest an aim toward literary texture and editorial credibility.
Stroke endings often resolve into rounded or subtly hooked terminals, which keeps dense settings from looking overly sharp. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent, dark color in text, with capitals that hold their own in headings while maintaining a bookish, conventional cadence.
