A sturdy serif with bracketed terminals and a controlled, moderately contrasted stroke. The letterforms show crisp triangular serifs, firm vertical stress, and relatively compact counters, creating a dense, confident texture in text. Curves are smooth but not overly calligraphic, while joins and shoulders stay tight and disciplined. Numerals and capitals carry clear, conventional proportions with an overall emphasis on solidity and legibility.
It performs well for editorial layouts, book typography, and other print-leaning contexts where a classic serif voice is expected. The heavier presence also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage branding that benefits from a confident, traditional tone.
The font reads as traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial tone. Its weight and crisp serifs give it a serious, institutional voice suited to formal communication rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, dependable serif for reading and display, balancing crisp detailing with a strong overall color. Its proportions and serif treatment suggest a focus on familiarity, stability, and clear typographic hierarchy in editorial work.
The sample text shows a strong typographic color with consistent spacing and a pronounced baseline presence. Diagonal forms (such as in V, W, and X) feel robust and stable, and round letters maintain a slightly compact interior that reinforces the font’s firm, print-oriented character.
