A robust text serif with bracketed serifs and pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes. The construction shows a calligraphic, oldstyle influence: round characters have slightly diagonal stress, and curves transition into stems with soft, tapered joins. Proportions are moderately wide with sturdy verticals, open interior counters, and a steady baseline rhythm that keeps paragraphs dark but controlled. Terminals are often wedge-like or subtly flared, giving the forms a crisp, engraved finish without becoming sharp or brittle.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and display sizing, especially in print-like compositions. It can support brand work that calls for a traditional, authoritative serif with a strong typographic color.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition. Its strong presence reads confident and somewhat bookish, suited to content that wants to feel established, trustworthy, and serious rather than trendy or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with a distinctly classic flavor, balancing strong stroke weight with refined contrast and bracketed serifs. It aims to deliver a confident page color and dependable legibility while retaining a literary, print-oriented character.
Capitals are broad and stately, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation in shapes and joins for continuous reading. Numerals are heavy and prominent, designed to sit confidently in text and headings rather than appearing delicate. The texture in paragraph settings is dense and even, with clear word shapes and a consistent serif rhythm.
