A robust serif with bracketed, gently flared terminals and a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle underpinning. Strokes are full and rounded with moderate contrast and smooth transitions into the serifs, creating a soft, inked silhouette rather than sharp, brittle edges. Counters are comfortably open and the overall rhythm is steady, with sturdy verticals and subtly tapered joins that keep large sizes looking confident while preserving interior clarity. The lowercase shows a compact, workmanlike build with a two-storey “a,” a two-storey “g,” and a relatively short extenders-to-body relationship that reads balanced in paragraph settings.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a solid, traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a confident, established tone.
The font projects a classic, editorial seriousness—traditional and trustworthy with a slightly warm, humanist softness. Its weight and rounded serifs give it an authoritative presence suited to institutional or literary contexts without feeling overly ornamental.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, dependable serif for reading and editorial use, combining sturdy color on the page with softened, bracketed details to maintain warmth and legibility at a range of sizes.
Uppercase forms emphasize stability and presence, while the numerals are proportioned for text use, with clear differentiation and rounded, slightly oldstyle shaping. Overall spacing appears even and sturdy, supporting dense lines of text and strong headline setting.
