A sturdy serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a relatively large x-height that keeps lowercase forms compact and readable. Strokes are firm and even, with moderated contrast and rounded join behavior that softens the overall texture. The curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) are full and slightly squared-off in feel, while terminals and serifs read as blunt and confident rather than sharp. Spacing and letterfit produce a dense, steady rhythm in text, with strong verticals and slightly condensed counters that contribute to a solid, editorial color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and long-form reading, and other text-forward settings where a firm, classic serif voice is needed. The heavy, steady texture also performs well in headings, pull quotes, and packaging or label-style applications where traditional credibility is a goal.
The tone is classic and authoritative, evoking book typography and traditional publishing. Its robust detailing and confident serifs suggest reliability and heritage, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than formal to the point of austerity.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse serif with extra sturdiness for strong typographic color and dependable readability. It prioritizes familiar proportions and robust detailing to convey tradition and authority across both display and text sizes.
Uppercase forms are broad and emphatic, giving headlines a poster-like presence without departing from conventional serif structure. Numerals are weighty and clear, matching the text color and supporting prominent use in headings and callouts.
