A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, slightly flared serifs that give strokes a sculpted, ink-on-paper feel. The proportions are broad with generous capitals and full, rounded bowls, while joints and terminals show soft, calligraphic shaping rather than crisp geometric cuts. Curves are smooth and weighty, counters stay open in the lowercase, and the overall rhythm is steady and text-forward. Numerals appear similarly sturdy and traditional, with rounded forms and clear differentiation.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and other long-form reading contexts where a classic serif voice is desired. Its strong presence also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and titling in print or display settings where a traditional, authoritative tone fits. It can support heritage-leaning branding and packaging where a familiar literary character is beneficial.
