A robust serif with bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a sturdy, print-oriented texture. Strokes are relatively even with gentle modulation and pronounced, rounded terminals that keep counters open and forms steady. Capitals feel broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains straightforward, conventional proportions with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are weighty and legible, matching the overall strong, consistent color on the page.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also serve in book and magazine settings for short-to-medium passages, and for branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative typographic character.
The tone is traditional and dependable, with an authoritative, bookish presence. Its heavy, confident letterforms read as serious and institutional, leaning toward established editorial and academic sensibilities rather than decorative expression.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, highly legible serif with a heavier presence, balancing traditional details (bracketed serifs and rounded joins) with a solid, contemporary page color for editorial and display-forward applications.
Serifs are distinctly bracketed and slightly flared, contributing to a smooth rhythm across words. The sample text shows a dense, confident texture at larger sizes, with clear punctuation and sturdy curves that support strong headline use while still feeling rooted in text typography.
