A sturdy serif with broad, confident stems and clearly bracketed serifs that flare gently into the strokes. The letterforms show softened joins and rounded interior corners, with a generally generous, open construction in bowls and counters. Proportions feel slightly wide in several capitals and round letters, while overall spacing and rhythm remain even and text-oriented. Numerals are weighty and old-style in feel, with strong curves and clear differentiation across forms.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography, where its sturdy serifs and open counters support comfortable reading. It also scales effectively for magazine headlines, section heads, institutional branding, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a distinctly editorial gravity. Its softened details keep it from feeling brittle or overly sharp, lending a warm, bookish presence while still reading as formal and established.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a robust color on the page, combining traditional serif construction with slightly softened contours for steady readability and a confident, classic tone.
The face maintains clear silhouettes at large sizes, with pronounced curves in letters like S, C, and G and sturdy vertical emphasis in H, N, and U. Lowercase forms show solid, readable shapes and a calm baseline rhythm, suggesting an emphasis on continuous-text comfort rather than display novelty.
