A robust serif with clearly bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Strokes show gentle, traditional modulation and a steady, text-oriented rhythm, with ample inner counters and rounded joins that keep heavy forms from clogging. The capitals feel stately and slightly wide-set, while the lowercase shows oldstyle inclinations—most notably in the two-storey “g” and the flowing, diagonal stress in bowls—paired with sturdy, readable figures.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif texture is desired. Its sturdy forms also make it effective for section heads, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, established feel without appearing overly formal.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting established print traditions and a calm sense of authority. Its weight and rounded bracketing add warmth, keeping the voice approachable rather than austere.
This design appears intended as a conventional, print-friendly serif that balances strong presence with comfortable readability. The bracketed serifs and traditional modulation aim to deliver a familiar, dependable texture for extended reading while remaining confident at larger sizes.
The numerals read clearly at display sizes, with strong silhouettes and pronounced serifs that help them stand apart in running text. The face maintains a consistent, slightly soft-edged texture across lines, supporting long-form setting while still carrying enough presence for headings.
