A sturdy serif with pronounced, slab-like serifs that read as mostly squared and weighty, often softly bracketed into the stems. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast and crisp, clean joins, producing a steady texture in paragraphs. The proportions feel traditional with a balanced x-height, open counters, and clear differentiation between letters and numerals; round forms are generously full while verticals remain firm and straight. Overall spacing and rhythm suggest a text-oriented design that stays composed at reading sizes while still holding up in larger settings.
Performs well in body copy for books, long-form editorial, and academic or institutional typography where a stable, readable serif texture is needed. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a classic, authoritative serif presence is desired without excessive delicacy.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—measured, reliable, and slightly academic. Its sturdy serifs and calm rhythm lend an authoritative voice that feels suitable for literature, institutions, and editorial contexts rather than playful or highly stylized branding.
Likely intended as a dependable serif for sustained reading, combining robust slab-like serifs with traditional proportions to deliver clarity, durability, and a composed page color across a range of text sizes.
Capital forms appear formal and well-mannered, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and distinct shapes (notably in forms like a, g, and y). Numerals are clear and traditional in feel, matching the serifed construction of the letters and supporting continuous-text use.
