This serif typeface features clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady, medium stroke contrast that reads cleanly at text sizes. Proportions are generous with notably wide rounds and open counters, while spacing feels deliberate and even, producing a calm horizontal rhythm. Terminals are crisp and slightly angled in places, and the curves are smoothly drawn without overt calligraphic swing. Numerals follow the same sturdy, traditional structure with clear bowls and strong verticals.
It performs well in editorial layouts, books, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The wide proportions also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and title treatments that benefit from a stately, high-clarity presence.
Overall, the font projects a classic, formal tone with an editorial seriousness. Its broad set and sharp, well-defined serifs give it an authoritative, established feel suited to traditional typography rather than novelty styling.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a broad, confident stance—balancing traditional serif detailing with clean, even rhythm for comfortable reading. Its crisp serifs and controlled contrast suggest an aim toward dependable editorial typography across both display and body settings.
The uppercase shows a dignified, inscriptional steadiness, while the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable texture with compact joins and consistent serif treatment. The wide proportions make headlines feel expansive, and in paragraphs the letterforms retain clarity without appearing fragile.
