A robust serif with bracketed terminals and a sturdy, print-like color. Strokes are fairly even with noticeable but not delicate contrast, and the serifs read as traditional wedges rather than slabs. Proportions are slightly condensed in capitals with ample vertical emphasis, while lowercase shows compact bowls and a steady rhythm that holds together well in paragraphs. Numerals include oldstyle figures with varying heights and a rounded, traditional feel, reinforcing a bookish texture.
This face is well suited to body copy in books and editorial layouts where a strong serif texture helps guide the eye across long lines. Its sturdy shapes also make it a good choice for headlines, section openers, and pull quotes that need a traditional, authoritative voice without becoming overly ornate.
The tone is classic and editorial, suggesting authority and familiarity rather than stylistic novelty. It feels suited to established institutions and long-form reading, with a confident, slightly weighty presence that reads as serious and dependable.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, dependable text serif optimized for sustained reading and a familiar printed-page tone. It aims to provide a solid typographic backbone for editorial and literary work, combining traditional serif detailing with a darker, more emphatic color for presence on the page.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. Curves and joins are smooth and conventional, with a restrained, workmanlike personality that favors clarity and consistency over decorative detail.
