A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed serifs that create a traditional, bookish texture. Uppercase forms are compact and confident, with gently flared terminals and crisp joins that hold up well at larger sizes. Lowercase letters show a relatively generous x-height, rounded bowls, and clear apertures, while extenders are moderate, keeping lines visually dense and even. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), blending smoothly with lowercase text and reinforcing an editorial reading rhythm.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a classic serif texture is desired, as well as for magazine decks, pull quotes, and robust headlines that need a traditional voice. The oldstyle numerals make it especially appropriate for running text with frequent numeric references, such as essays, reports, and cultural journalism.
The overall tone is traditional and assured, evoking established publishing and institutional typography. Its weight and contrast give it a confident voice suited to serious, measured messaging rather than playful or casual contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a strong presence, balancing classic proportions and bracketed serifs with enough stroke contrast to provide refinement in display and emphasis.
In continuous text the letterspacing reads comfortable and stable, with consistent stem weight that produces a strong page color. The shapes lean toward conventional proportions, prioritizing clarity and familiarity over eccentric details.
