A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a solid, bookish color. Strokes show clear contrast without becoming delicate, with rounded joins and softly modeled curves that keep counters open. Proportions lean slightly wide with generous capitals and a steady baseline rhythm; the lowercase is compact but not condensed, with sturdy stems and round, slightly squarish bowls. Several forms show oldstyle influence, including ball terminals and gently tapered stroke endings, giving the design a traditional, print-oriented texture.
This face works well for long-form reading in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a strong serif texture is desirable. It also scales up effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and display copy, where the pronounced serifs and firm stroke weight help maintain presence and structure.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and familiarity rather than novelty. Its weight and conventional shapes feel dependable and institutional, suitable for settings where tradition and clarity are valued.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif that balances traditional detailing with sturdy, contemporary weight. Its consistent rhythm and confident serif treatment suggest a focus on editorial versatility—comfortable in paragraphs while still assertive in titles.
The numerals appear sturdy and headline-friendly, with simple, legible silhouettes that match the heavy serif detailing. The italic is not shown; all samples read as upright, with a consistent, even texture across long lines of text.
