A robust text serif with bracketed, well-supported serifs and a confident, weighty color on the page. Strokes show moderate modulation with rounded joins and softly sculpted terminals, producing a slightly cushioned, ink-trap-free look. Counters are fairly open for the weight, with a stable baseline and even spacing that reads comfortably in continuous text. The lowercase uses compact, sturdy forms (notably a two-storey a and g), while the uppercase is broad-shouldered and blocky without feeling rigid.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and newspaper-style pages where a strong serif texture is desirable. It also performs effectively for headlines and pull quotes that need traditional presence, and for packaging or labels seeking a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with an editorial gravitas that suggests established publishing rather than display novelty. Its rounded finishing details add a touch of warmth, keeping the voice approachable while still formal and authoritative.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif tuned for strong readability and a confident page color, balancing classic proportions with slightly softened detailing to keep dense settings from feeling harsh.
The design favors solid silhouettes and clear internal spaces, helping maintain clarity at larger text and subheadline sizes. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the text weight and maintaining a consistent rhythm alongside letters.
