A robust serif with wedge-like, flared terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that soften the joins into the stems. Strokes are confidently weighted with moderate contrast and a steady, print-oriented rhythm. Uppercase forms feel wide and stately, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and sturdy verticals, producing a dense, even texture in text. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and curves are smoothly drawn with crisp edges that keep the shapes from feeling soft or rounded.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a classic serif voice is needed, as well as editorial settings such as magazine features and book titling. The heavy, steady texture also works for branding systems that want a traditional, authoritative feel, especially in display and short-to-medium text blocks.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting seriousness and credibility without feeling ornate. Its assertive weight and firm serifs give it a confident, institutional voice suited to classic, text-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif structure, emphasizing strong presence and readability through flared terminals and controlled contrast. It aims to feel dignified and dependable, with enough personality in the serifs and tapering to stand out in display typography while remaining stable in text.
The numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ strong vertical emphasis and flared endings. In the sample text, the type maintains a consistent color and stable spacing, supporting long lines with a composed, bookish presence.
