This is a serif text face with low stroke contrast and subtly flared terminals that broaden as strokes meet their ends, creating soft wedge-like serifs rather than blunt slabs. Proportions are moderate with a steady, even rhythm; counters are open and the curves (C, O, S) read smooth and controlled. The lowercase shows a compact, workmanlike texture with a two-storey “a” and “g,” while the capitals are broad and stable, giving headings a grounded, classic presence.
It fits well in editorial contexts such as magazines, newspapers, and book typography, where a steady texture and clear letterforms matter. The solid capitals also support headlines, pull quotes, and section titles, while the straightforward numerals suit tables, captions, and informational layouts.
The font conveys a sturdy, traditional tone with a hint of warmth from its gently flared stroke endings. It feels dependable and editorial rather than flashy, balancing formality with approachability for everyday reading.
The design appears intended for comfortable, sustained reading with a conservative serif structure and restrained contrast. The flared endings and solid verticals suggest an aim to add firmness and character without sacrificing clarity, making it suitable as a general-purpose serif for both text and display at larger sizes.
The numerals appear lining with strong, clear silhouettes, and the punctuation is bold and readable at text sizes. Overall spacing and shapes create a consistent grayscale that holds up well across mixed-case paragraphs and all-caps settings.
