A robust serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs, rounded joins, and a gently modulated stroke that favors sturdy verticals and softly tapered terminals. The letterforms feel slightly expanded, with generous counters and a calm, even rhythm that holds up well at larger text sizes. Capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase keeps a familiar bookish structure with two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a strong, anchored baseline presence.
This face suits editorial typography where a confident serif voice is needed, including magazines, books, and long-form articles. Its solid weight and open shapes also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and branding systems that aim for tradition and clarity in print and high-contrast digital settings.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a warm, slightly softened seriousness rather than sharp austerity. It suggests editorial credibility and traditional craft, suitable for work that wants to feel established and dependable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif with a slightly expanded, confident stance and softened detailing to maintain warmth. It balances classic proportions with sturdy drawing to deliver strong text color and dependable readability across display and text contexts.
Numerals appear weighty and clear, with oldstyle-like curvature and substantial bowls that match the text color of the letters. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes the font’s strong color and stable spacing in continuous reading.
