A robust serif with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are firm and mostly upright with moderate contrast, and terminals finish in bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give the letterforms a carved, editorial feel. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be controlled, producing a dense color on the page; the lowercase maintains conventional proportions with sturdy stems and rounded joins. Numerals share the same weight and serif treatment, reading clearly with stable, grounded forms.
Performs well in editorial layouts, book typography, and other print contexts where a classic serif voice is desired. The sturdy weight and compact fit also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and brand marks that need a traditional, authoritative tone without becoming overly ornate.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a slightly old-style, bookish presence. Its compact, weighty texture conveys seriousness and reliability, making it feel suited to established institutions and print-forward settings.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional text-serif appearance with a stronger, more compact presence. The intention appears to balance classic serif cues with a dense, confident texture that holds up in prominent typographic roles.
At text sizes the face produces a fairly dark, even typographic color, and the compact widths help fit more characters per line while keeping a structured, formal cadence. The serif shaping and rounded bracketing soften the weight, preventing the design from feeling overly rigid.
