A robust text serif with pronounced stroke modulation and compact, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction with tapered joins and strong vertical emphasis, producing a steady rhythm in paragraphs. Counters are relatively tight and terminals are crisp, with a firm baseline presence and sturdy capitals that read cleanly at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and long-form reading, and headline settings where a strong serif presence is desired. The sturdy shapes and clear contrast also make it a good choice for branding, packaging, and poster typography that aims for a traditional, trustworthy impression.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking editorial and literary typography. Its weight and contrast lend it a confident, formal voice that feels established rather than experimental.
Designed to deliver a familiar text-serif voice with extra weight and contrast for impact, balancing readability with a dignified, print-oriented character. The goal appears to be a conventional, versatile serif that can move from dense text to confident display without changing its typographic identity.
Uppercase forms feel especially solid and monumental, while the lowercase maintains a conventional text-seriffed texture with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are sturdy and readable, matching the same serifed, high-contrast logic for consistent color in mixed text and figures.
