A robust serif with bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Strokes are confidently thick with moderate contrast and smooth transitions into the serifs, giving the letterforms a solid, planted feel. Counters are open and generously shaped, and the lowercase shows a slightly compact, sturdy build with clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals are substantial and legible, matching the overall weight and presence of the alphabet.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and other long-form reading contexts where a sturdy serif is desired. Its weight and presence also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with an assertive, editorial voice. It feels familiar and trustworthy, suggesting established print conventions and a slightly formal, authoritative mood without becoming overly delicate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with extra visual strength, balancing familiar proportions with sturdy detailing for high-impact readability. It aims to deliver a dependable, classic feel while holding up well in prominent sizes and darker typographic color.
The font maintains consistent proportions and spacing across uppercase and lowercase, supporting even color in paragraphs. Curved letters show soft, rounded terminals and bracketing that reduces sharpness, which helps sustain readability at larger text and display sizes alike.
