A robust serif with generous proportions, rounded bowls, and clearly bracketed serifs that flare subtly at the ends. Strokes feel weighty and steady, with moderate thick–thin modulation and smooth, well-connected joins. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with prominent shoulders and a two-storey “g”, while capitals are broad and firmly set with confident horizontals and tapered diagonals. Numerals are full-bodied and old-style in feel, matching the text color and rhythm of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book titles, pull quotes, and section heads where a strong serif voice is needed. It can also work for short to medium passages in print-oriented layouts, and for branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional, trustworthy impression.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking traditional publishing and institutional typography. Its strong presence reads confident and formal, while the soft bracketing and rounded counters keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, publication-ready serif with a pronounced, confident texture and clear serif detailing. It prioritizes strong presence and legibility, aiming to bridge display impact with text-friendly rhythm.
In text, the font builds a dense, even typographic color with clear word shapes and stable spacing. The serifs and terminals give a slightly calligraphic, crafted finish that suits display sizes while still supporting continuous reading.
