A sturdy serif with bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and a compact, traditional build. The capitals are wide and steady with strong verticals and carefully shaped curves; terminals tend to finish cleanly with small, squared or subtly flared details. Lowercase forms read as conventional and book-oriented, with rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a relatively tall, structured “t.” Numerals are lining and evenly proportioned, with clear differentiation and a straightforward rhythm that stays consistent across the set.
This style is well suited to book and long-form editorial typography, where familiar serif structures support comfortable reading. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles in magazines or newspapers, especially when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, evoking editorial typography and long-established print conventions. It feels confident and slightly formal, suited to texts that aim for authority and clarity rather than novelty.
The design appears intended as a conventional, broadly usable text serif that balances firmness and readability. Its restrained details and steady proportions suggest a focus on dependable setting for editorial content, with enough presence to scale up for headings when needed.
At display sizes the sharpness of the serifs and the solid internal counters give it a bold, declarative presence, while the consistent stroke logic suggests it can also hold together in continuous reading. The shapes favor stability over delicacy, with generous, legible counters and restrained detailing.
