A robust text serif with bracketed serifs, moderately modulated strokes, and a compact, steady rhythm. The letterforms show sturdy stems and rounded joins, with softened corners and occasional ball-like terminals that give the design a slightly warm, inked impression. Uppercase proportions are classic and stable, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with a relatively generous set width and open counters. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and gentle curvature that integrates them naturally into running text.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a firm, traditional serif is desired. The substantial color also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, evoking established editorial and book typography. Its weight and rounded detailing add a confident, slightly hearty presence that feels serious without becoming austere.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional reading experience with a slightly heavier, more assertive texture, combining classic serif proportions with softened details that suggest print-oriented practicality.
Spacing reads even in the sample paragraph, supporting long-form reading. The design’s rounded terminals and softened interior angles create a subtle “printed” character, especially noticeable in the curves of letters like c, e, and s and the fuller, more sculpted capitals.
