This is a sturdy serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and finer connecting strokes, paired with clearly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a compact, disciplined rhythm: verticals feel firm, curves are smoothly controlled, and terminals often finish in rounded, teardrop-like shapes. Uppercase proportions are classical and steady, while the lowercase is built around a moderate x-height with generous counters and distinct, readable joins. Numerals appear oldstyle in construction, with noticeable ascenders and descenders that blend comfortably with running text.
This font is well suited to body text in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. Its sturdy shapes and high-contrast detailing also make it effective for headlines, section openers, and pull quotes that need authority without feeling overly ornamental.
Overall, the font conveys a traditional, bookish confidence with a slightly robust presence. Its contrast and crisp serifing create an editorial seriousness, while the rounded terminals keep the tone approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a strong typographic voice for publishing contexts. It prioritizes familiar proportions, crisp serif structure, and confident contrast to deliver a dependable, time-tested tone in both display and text settings.
In text, the face produces a dark, even color with clear word shapes and strong punctuation presence. The design leans on familiar transitional/oldstyle cues—bracketed serifs, smooth curves, and tapered strokes—supporting comfortable long-form reading while still carrying enough weight for emphatic headlines.
