A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals feel broad and steady, with generous interior counters and a sturdy baseline presence. Lowercase forms are compact and weighty, using rounded joins and frequent ball terminals (notably in letters like a, c, f, and y) that add texture to the rhythm. Overall spacing reads even and readable in text, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a confident, print-oriented color on the page.
Works well for book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also holds up for magazines and essays where a strong typographic color is beneficial. The sturdy shapes and expressive terminals make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and classic brand identities that want a formal, established feel.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, leaning toward classic editorial typography. Its strong contrast and emphatic terminals give it a slightly dramatic, old-style flavor while staying composed and conventional. The result feels dependable and literary—suited to content that wants to signal seriousness and craft.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif reading experience with added presence: strong contrast, sturdy proportions, and distinctive terminals that give text a confident, editorial character.
The numerals are similarly weighty and strongly modeled, matching the letterforms with consistent contrast and serif treatment. In the sample text, the font maintains a firm texture and clear word shapes, especially at larger sizes where the contrast and terminals become a defining character feature.
