This typeface is a robust serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and strongly weighted main strokes. Round letters show a slightly squarish, sturdy construction with moderate stroke modulation, while joints and terminals stay clean and conventional rather than calligraphic. Proportions are steady and text-focused, with open internal spaces and clearly differentiated forms in both upper- and lowercase. Numerals and capitals carry a firm, print-like presence suited to continuous reading and headline settings alike.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a strong, traditional serif voice is desired. The weight also supports impactful headings, pull quotes, and titles in magazines, journals, and institutional communications.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, projecting reliability and seriousness. Its substantial weight and traditional detailing create an editorial, bookish feel that reads as established rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse text serif with enough weight to remain clear under varied printing and layout conditions, balancing traditional forms with a sturdy, modernized presence for editorial typography.
Letterforms maintain a consistent, upright rhythm with compact, confident curves and restrained detailing. The lowercase shows familiar text-serif cues (two-storey shapes where expected and sturdy stems), supporting clarity in dense paragraphs.
