A robust text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and generous, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show broad, confident curves and fairly compact counters, with a sturdy vertical emphasis and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. Lowercase has a moderate x-height with substantial ascenders/descenders, and the figures appear oldstyle, integrating smoothly with running text. Overall spacing reads even and solid, producing dark, stable paragraphs at display and text sizes.
Works well for book typography, magazine/editorial layouts, and news-style headings where a strong serif texture is desired. The bold presence and oldstyle figures make it particularly effective for pull quotes, section heads, and packaging or labels that benefit from a classic, trustworthy typographic voice.
The tone is classic and institutional, conveying authority and seriousness without feeling ornate. Its weight and contrast create an editorial, print-forward voice suited to established brands and traditional publishing contexts.
Likely designed as a conventional, high-impact serif for publishing, aiming to deliver a familiar book typographic color with extra strength for headings and emphatic text. The overall construction prioritizes tradition, readability, and a confident printed presence.
Serifs are prominent and well-bracketed, giving joins and terminals a softened, sculpted feel rather than sharp wedges. Many strokes end with rounded, ink-trap-free terminals and full bowls, reinforcing a traditional, punchy texture in headlines and short passages.
