A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a slightly calligraphic, carved-in feel. Strokes show gentle modulation and softened corners, with subtle wedge-like terminals and occasional ball-like endings in the lowercase. The lowercase has a compact, sturdy build with clear differentiation between straight stems and rounded bowls; counters are moderately open and the overall color is dense but even. Numerals are weighty and stable, with traditional proportions and clear figure shapes suited to text settings.
Well-suited to books and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. The weight and presence also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from an authoritative, established feel.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting confidence and tradition without feeling overly formal. Its softened, slightly hand-influenced detailing adds warmth and personality, giving it a familiar “printed page” character.
The font appears intended as a contemporary take on a conventional text serif: robust for print-like color, legible in paragraphs, and expressive enough for display use. Its softened terminals and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on comfortable reading and a warm editorial personality rather than strict geometric neutrality.
The design balances strong vertical stems with rounded, cushioned curves, producing a steady reading rhythm. Capitals appear solid and slightly dignified, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved terminals and varied bowl shapes, helping longer passages feel less rigid.
