A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs and rounded, softened terminals that give the forms a gently sculpted look. Stems are weighty and confident, with moderate stroke modulation and smooth transitions into serifs rather than abrupt slabs. Counters are compact-to-moderate and the overall rhythm is dense, producing strong word shapes; curves (C, G, S, O) read full and slightly squarish with subtle flare at terminals. Lowercase shows a double-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and short-to-moderate extenders, while figures appear lining with broad, stable shapes and rounded details (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9).
Well suited to editorial environments such as magazines, newspapers, and book typography where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. It can carry section heads and headlines with authority, and it should also work for branding that needs heritage cues and a confident, print-like presence.
The tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward familiar print typography rather than display novelty. Its rounded finishing and sturdy color add a warm, slightly old-style seriousness that feels editorial and dependable. Overall it conveys tradition and credibility while remaining approachable.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with increased heft and warmth, combining traditional proportions with softened terminals for a darker, more assertive page color. The forms appear tuned for clear word shapes and a familiar editorial character rather than experimental detailing.
The joins and terminal shaping create an almost inked impression at small sizes, with a slight softness that reduces harshness in heavy strokes. Uppercase proportions are robust and compact, and the Q’s tail is pronounced, adding a distinctive, slightly formal flavor in headings and initials.
