A robust serif with compact proportions and a steady, slightly condensed rhythm. Serifs are firmly bracketed with blunt, squared terminals, and the stroke joins feel rounded enough to keep the texture cohesive at text sizes. The design leans on strong vertical stems and tight counters, producing a dark, even typographic color. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, workmanlike construction, with clear, conventional forms and minimal flourish.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a strong, classic serif texture is desired—magazines, newspapers, and book pages with sturdy readability. The heavier color also makes it effective for subheads, pull quotes, and packaging or labeling that benefits from a dependable, traditional voice.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking printed reference material, newspapers, and institutional communication. Its weighty presence feels confident and pragmatic rather than delicate, giving text a sober, editorial voice.
Likely designed as a conventional, print-oriented serif that prioritizes a solid text color, familiarity of letterforms, and durable readability. The emphasis appears to be on dependable, no-nonsense communication with enough weight to hold up in demanding layouts.
The face maintains consistent spacing and interior shapes across upper- and lowercase, favoring sturdiness over elegance. Round letters show controlled, slightly squared curves, and terminals generally end in flat cuts that reinforce the solid, utilitarian feel.
