A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show broad, confident vertical stems, crisp hairlines, and a steady, upright posture. Curves are full and slightly compact, with ball terminals appearing in several lowercase forms, adding a gently calligraphic finish without becoming decorative. Spacing and rhythm feel even and text-oriented, while capitals carry a solid, formal presence with clear, classical proportions.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book or long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits formal branding, packaging, and institutional materials that benefit from a confident, traditional voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and reliability. It feels bookish and institutional in a familiar way, suited to conveying seriousness and trust while still reading warmly thanks to its rounded details and ball terminals.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a strong editorial presence, combining classical proportions with emphatic contrast and sturdy bracketing to maintain clarity and authority across paragraphs and prominent headings.
The font’s contrast and sturdy serifs give it strong word-shape definition at display and text sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and clear, with straightforward forms that match the text’s conventional, print-minded character.
