A sturdy serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and softly rounded join transitions that give the outlines a subtly inked, print-like presence. Strokes show moderate contrast with mostly vertical stress and compact, confident terminals, producing a steady rhythm in text. The proportions run on the broader side, with generous counters and a relatively large footprint per glyph, which helps maintain clarity at display sizes while keeping a conventional text-serif skeleton. Curves and corners are gently eased rather than razor-sharp, and the overall color on the page is even and dense.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, magazines, and reports where a traditional serif voice is desired. The wide proportions and firm serifing also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and identity work that needs a classic, trustworthy tone.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—serious and dependable, with a hint of old-style warmth. Its softened detailing and sturdy shapes suggest traditional printing and editorial authority without feeling overly delicate or ornate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional text-serif experience with a robust, print-forward character: familiar letterforms, moderate contrast, and softened details that prioritize steady readability and an authoritative, literary feel.
Uppercase forms read solid and slightly expansive, while lowercase shapes keep an approachable, readable texture. Numerals appear weight-matched and stable, with clear silhouettes suited to running text and headings.
