A sturdy serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and softly swelling strokes that give the letters a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. The forms are generously proportioned with broad bowls and open counters, creating an even, readable rhythm in text. Terminals are rounded and sometimes subtly flared, and the curves (notably in C, S, and the lowercases) carry a gentle, hand-influenced modulation rather than strict geometric precision. Overall spacing and color feel dense but controlled, producing a solid page texture without looking mechanical.
It performs well in editorial settings where a strong, traditional serif voice is needed, from magazine features to book typography. The robust weight and broad forms also make it effective for display use—headlines, posters, and pull quotes—where it can deliver a classic, high-ink presence. Its heritage tone lends itself to packaging, labels, and identity work that benefits from a vintage or literary sensibility.
The tone is classic and bookish with a warm, slightly rustic character. It suggests traditional print—literary, editorial, and archival—while staying approachable rather than formal or delicate. The heft and soft detailing give it a confident, comfortable voice suited to narrative and heritage-leaning design.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-oriented serif with an old-style warmth, combining sturdy construction with softened, calligraphic cues. It aims for reliable readability and a confident, traditional texture while preserving enough distinctive detailing to feel characterful in display sizes.
Distinctive details include a curled tail on the Q, a single-storey a, and a g with a compact, looped lower form, all reinforcing an old-style, humanist influence. Numerals are bold and clear with serifed structure, matching the text weight and maintaining strong presence in running copy and headings.
