A robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and strongly modeled strokes. The letterforms show a slightly compact feel with generous internal counters, rounded joins, and clear vertical stress that reads as traditional rather than decorative. Curves are full and confident (notably in C, G, S, and O), while terminals and serifs have a subtle flare that gives a carved, print-like presence. Spacing appears even and comfortable in text, with steady rhythm and clear differentiation across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
It works well for editorial typography, book or magazine settings, and other reading-focused layouts where a firm, traditional serif texture is desired. The strong stroke presence also suits headlines, institutional branding, and packaging that benefits from a confident, established voice.
The font conveys a classic, dependable tone—bookish and editorial—with a slightly stout, old-style warmth. Its strong color on the page feels authoritative and established, suitable for contexts that want tradition and clarity over novelty.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif with a robust texture—aimed at delivering classic print authority while remaining comfortable and familiar in continuous text.
Uppercase forms are broad and stately with pronounced serifs, while lowercase shows sturdy arches and bowls that maintain legibility at larger text sizes. Figures are weighty and well-balanced, matching the overall texture and reinforcing the font’s solid, print-forward character.
