This serif has sturdy, generously proportioned letterforms with clearly bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin pattern. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, with softened corners and occasional ball-like terminals that add a rounded finish to joins and stroke ends. Spacing and rhythm feel steady and readable, with conventional proportions and a calm vertical stance; the overall texture is dense without becoming spiky. The numerals appear oldstyle, showing varying heights and a more text-oriented flow than lining figures.
It suits display and editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired—magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, posters, and branding that leans traditional. The robust shapes and clear serifs also make it workable for short to medium text when set with comfortable leading.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established rather than trendy. Its weight and contrast give it a confident, headline-ready voice, while the rounded terminals keep it from feeling overly severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with extra visual presence for contemporary editorial use. It balances traditional serif structures with rounded detailing to keep the page color rich and approachable.
Uppercase forms show a strong, stable presence with clear serif cues, and the lowercase maintains a familiar book-serif cadence. The ampersand is bold and ornamental, reinforcing a classic print sensibility.
