A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs, generous curves, and a visibly calligraphic underpinning. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and softened inner counters, producing a dense, confident texture in paragraphs. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly wide, with prominent serifs and strong verticals; lowercase features a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g” with a rounded ear, and compact, well-contained counters. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, with varying heights and several descending forms, matching the text rhythm rather than lining up as tabular caps-height digits.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a strong serif voice and stable rhythm are desirable. It can also carry display use in headlines, pull quotes, and magazine titles where its robust serifs and classic proportions provide impact without departing from conventional readability.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition without feeling overly delicate. Its weight and rounded details give it a grounded, bookish presence suited to serious, text-forward communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-utility serif for reading environments, balancing traditional book-letter features with enough weight and softness to stay clear at typical text sizes. Oldstyle numerals and rounded detailing suggest an emphasis on narrative flow and an established, literary character.
Ball-like terminals appear in several lowercase details (notably the ear of “g”), and the forms favor smooth, slightly bulbous curves over sharp, brittle angles. Spacing and proportions create a strong word shape and consistent color, especially in longer lines of text.
