A robust serif with generous proportions and softly bracketed terminals. Strokes are full and even with moderate contrast, and the serifs read as traditional rather than slab-like—rounded where they join the stems and slightly flared at the ends. Counters are open and rounded, giving the face a steady, readable rhythm, while the capitals sit broad and confident with compact interior spaces. Lowercase forms lean conventional and sturdy, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a prominent ear on “g,” and a generally substantial texture at text sizes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a strong serif voice is desired. Its substantial color and open forms also make it effective for display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or label typography that benefits from a traditional, trustworthy feel.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, suggesting print-first seriousness and editorial authority. Its weight and broad stance add a confident, slightly old-style warmth without feeling ornate or delicate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-impact text serif that balances classic detailing with sturdy, contemporary heft. It aims to deliver dependable readability and a confident typographic presence across short and longer-form copy.
Numerals are sturdy and highly present, with simple, familiar shapes and strong baseline anchoring. The italics are not shown; the sample indicates a consistent, solid color in paragraphs and headings where clarity and impact are prioritized.
