A sturdy serif with pronounced bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a broadly traditional construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with thick, confident verticals and smoothly tapered curves, producing a dark, even color in text. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and terminals tend toward gently cupped or slightly hooked forms rather than sharp cuts. Proportions feel compact and stable, with centered stress in rounded letters and a generally conservative rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a traditional serif is desired, including magazine headings, pull quotes, and book typography at comfortable sizes. Its dense color and strong serifs also make it effective for branding, packaging, and formal communications where a confident, established feel is important.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, leaning toward an editorial, bookish voice. Its heavy presence reads as confident and serious, with a familiar “print” character suited to established brands and traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif with enough weight to hold up in prominent text while preserving familiar book-type proportions and detailing. It emphasizes stability, readability, and a classic typographic voice over novelty.
Capitals are broad and steady with strong serifs that help anchor lines, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals appear lining and substantial, matching the text weight and contributing to a cohesive, headline-friendly texture.
