A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs and noticeably rounded, slightly bulbous terminals that give the strokes a softened finish. Curves are full and generous (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while verticals and main stems read firm and weighty, creating a confident texture. The lowercase shows compact, text-oriented proportions with a two-storey a and g, rounded dots, and a softly hooked f; the overall rhythm is steady and slightly dark on the page. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and subtle ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and academic or institutional material where a traditional serif voice is desired. Its substantial stroke presence also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and titling in print or high-resolution digital settings, especially where a warm, authoritative texture is beneficial.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a dignified, slightly old-fashioned warmth. It feels established and trustworthy rather than sleek, leaning toward traditional print culture and editorial seriousness.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, highly readable serif with enough weight and soft terminal shaping to remain friendly in display sizes while retaining a dependable text tone. The oldstyle numerals and rounded detailing suggest an emphasis on comfortable long-form composition and classic typographic flavor.
Round terminals and gentle bracketing keep the bold color from becoming harsh, helping large sizes look inviting while still maintaining strong presence. The serif shapes read more calligraphically influenced than geometric, giving the face a human, familiar cadence.
