This is a sturdy serif with bracketed serifs, softened joins, and a slightly calligraphic, inked-in texture. Strokes are fairly even with gentle modulation, and many terminals finish in rounded or subtly flared shapes that keep the letterforms from feeling sharp. Proportions lean compact with robust stems and relatively wide bowls, while spacing and rhythm read steady and text-oriented. Details like the double-storey “a” and “g,” ball-like terminals on some letters, and oldstyle-style figures contribute to an established, bookish color on the page.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts, where its sturdy shapes and consistent rhythm support comfortable scanning. The weight and presence also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that need a traditional, authoritative tone without becoming ornate.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a slightly old-world warmth that suggests print tradition. It feels serious and literary rather than flashy, projecting credibility and a measured voice suited to reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif with extra robustness for strong page color, aiming to balance readability with a familiar, heritage-inflected character.
Uppercase forms are firm and blocky with restrained ornament, while the lowercase has more personality through rounded terminals and softly notched joins. The numerals appear text-friendly, with varied widths and a traditional feel that blends smoothly into running copy.
