A sturdy serif with pronounced stroke modulation and clearly bracketed serifs. The letterforms have generous width and a stable, upright stance, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the texture from feeling sharp. Serifs often end in subtly bulbous or ball-like terminals, and counters are open and well-defined, producing a dense but readable page color. Numerals appear oldstyle in behavior, with varying heights and a flowing, traditional rhythm rather than strictly lining proportions.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book covers, and packaging where a traditional serif voice is desired with extra weight and presence. It can carry headlines and subheads effectively, and it also works for short passages or pull quotes where a strong, classic texture is beneficial.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking traditional print typography with a confident, established presence. Its warm serifs and ball terminals add a slightly antique, bookish flavor, balancing seriousness with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened emphasis: broad proportions, crisp modulation, and warmly bracketed serifs that reproduce a familiar print feel while remaining forceful in modern layouts.
In text, the font creates a strong, even rhythm with firm vertical stress and clear differentiation between similar shapes. The bold weight and high contrast make it particularly assertive at display and subhead sizes, while the open counters help maintain clarity as lines build into paragraphs.
