A sturdy serif with generously weighted strokes and clearly bracketed serifs that flare into rounded, slightly softened terminals. The forms lean toward transitional proportions: compact, rounded bowls, steady vertical stress, and a moderate stroke modulation that keeps color even in text. Curves and joins show a subtle calligraphic liveliness—seen in the ear of the lowercase g, the angled entry strokes, and the gently sculpted feet—while counters remain open enough for readability at larger text sizes. Numerals are strong and old-style in flavor, with varied widths and a pronounced baseline presence.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and long-form reading where a strong serif presence is desired. The weight and sturdy detailing also work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and branding applications that need a traditional, established tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and confident, with a bookish, editorial voice. Its heavy, ink-friendly shapes suggest reliability and gravitas, while the rounded bracketing adds approachability rather than sharp formality.
Likely intended as a robust, contemporary take on conventional text serifs, balancing classical bracketed serifs with a darker, more emphatic color for modern editorial and display needs.
Spacing appears comfortable and the rhythm is steady, producing a dark, solid texture in paragraphs. The capitals have a classic, engraved feel with firm serifs and wide stance, while the lowercase maintains a lively texture through varied terminals and slightly irregular, humanist details.
