A robust serif with strongly bracketed serifs, pronounced stroke modulation, and a compact, sturdy build. Curves are full and rounded, with softened joins and occasional ball-like terminals that add warmth to the otherwise formal structure. Capitals are wide and steady with clear, traditional proportions, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and fairly tight apertures that emphasize density and color on the page. The overall rhythm is even and text-ready, with a confident weight and clear hierarchy between thick and thin strokes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and academic or institutional materials where a traditional serif voice is desired. Its weight and contrast also support strong headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a classic, print-forward character.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking established editorial typography and book culture. Its sturdy presence feels institutional and dependable rather than delicate, giving text a serious, composed voice with a hint of old-world warmth.
Likely drawn to provide a conventional, text-oriented serif with a confident, darker color and familiar proportions, balancing strong modulation with softened details for comfortable reading. The inclusion of oldstyle-style numerals and the overall sturdy rhythm suggest an intention to perform well in paragraph settings while carrying authority in larger sizes.
The numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and some descending forms, reinforcing a literary, print-like texture in running text. Spacing and letterfit present as solid and compact, producing a dark, consistent paragraph color that suits emphasis and display sizes while remaining readable in text.
